Mulled Wine
Anything with wine in is a yes. And it’s Christmas so everything must be mulled. Naturally.
- 1 large orange
- 3 lemons
- 12 cloves
- 2 satsumas or clementines
- 2 x 750ml bottles red wine
- 150g caster sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- brandy, to taste
Method
-
Carefully peel the zest very thinly from the orange and lemons using a vegetable peeler. Squeeze out the juice.
-
Stick the cloves into the satsumas.
-
Pour the wine, 1.2 litres/2 pints of cold water, and the citrus peel and juices into a large, saucepan. Add the clove-studded satsumas and cinnamon sticks. Bring the mixture just to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan with the lid, and simmer for about 1 hour.
-
Stir in the sugar gradually during cooking, until the mulled wine is sweetened to your preference.
-
Strain the mulled wine and serve.
