Winter Recipe

A nice warming, wintery and Christmassy recipe, there are many ways to make this drink and you can experiment with various berry based juices if making a non-alcoholic drink.                                        

 

 

 

 

                                                            Mulled Wine                                                         

Ingredients

x1 bottle of red wine (or a berry juice if non-alcoholic, such as cranberry)

1/2 large carton of orange juice

x1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar

x1 sliced orange, lemon or lime(optional)

8-10 cloves

x2 cinnamon sticks

x1 teaspoon allspice or ginger

x2 star anise

NB: you can also instead or as well as having slices of orange, use a whole orange and push the cloves into the orange (dependant on taste - 20-30 cloves) then leave the orange in the pan with the rest of the ingredients

 Place all ingredients into a pan. Heat gently until just about boiling, turn heat down and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring now and then until all flavours are infused and fruit has softened. You can either strain the drink to remove spices or just watch as you pour out the drinks.
