Red wine with winter spices, nothing says Christmas quite like a perfectly balanced glass of Mulled Wine. Don’t buy it ready-made, this method is so simple, anyone could do it.
All of the winter spices are suitable for this recipe, just alter the amounts and the spices – if you don’t like cloves just leave them out, I won’t tell on you. I’ve listed five spices here, choose three, see if you like it and add and subtract to suit your taste. Whole spices are easier to remove and don’t leave ‘bits’.
Ingredients:
- Star Anise
- 1 Clove
- Allspice
- Cardamom pod
- Small cinnamon stick
- 25ml orange juice
- Red or dry white wine
- 50g demerara sugar
- Orange and or lemon to decorate
Method:
- Put the spices, orange juice and sugar into a milk frother and then top the liquid level up to the max with wine.
- Replace the lid and press start.
- Wait until your milk frother has finished and strain straight into your glass.
- Decorate with orange and or lemon slices.
- Enjoy your Mulled Wine.
Lucy’s Top Tip: To save the trouble of adding all the spices and then having to strain them try substituting them with Mulled Fruit Winter Warmer Syrup.
