Mulled Wine

Preparation Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 15-20 Minutes

By Patricia

Mulled wine, as the name suggests is a warm red wine with fruit, spices and sugar. Mulled wine is a lovely way to greet guests when they arrive at your home on a cold winters day or to share with the family around an open fire at Christmas. I like to use a good Burgundy to make mulled wine although any reasonable red wine can be used.

Ingredients: Serves 6
300ml water
125g sugar
4 cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 lemons sliced
1 bottle of red wine
150ml orange liqueur
Orange and lemon slices for decoration

Cooking Instructions:

1. Boil the water, spices and sugar together.

2. Add the 2 sliced lemons, stir and leave to stand for 15-20 minutes.

3. Add the wine and the orange liqueur, heat gently taking care not to let it boil.

4. Strain into glasses and serve hot with the lemon and orange slices.
