Mulled Wine
(Serves 6 - 8)
Ingredients
750ml bottle red wine
2 tbs light brown or golden caster sugar
1 large piece orange peel
2 cinnamon sticks, plus extra to stir
Grated fresh nutmeg
Slices of orange, studded with cloves
Method
Place the wine, sugar, orange peel, cinnamon and a generous grating of nutmeg in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. (Do not allow to boil, or you will boil off the alcohol). Place an orange slice in each serving glass, pour over the wine and serve with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer.
*Mulled wine is a perfect winter warmer but if you would like to try a non-alcoholic version or your children would like to make a version of this drink, just replace the red wine with 750ml of good quality apple juice.
