mulled wine

The traditional mulled wine is wine that has spicesadded to it. It may also include citrus, such asorange or lemon. 

It is served warm, but is not boiled, because boiling would cause the alcohol to evaporate. Mulled wine is usually made with red wine, although it can be made with white wine. An alcohol-free form of mulled wine can be made by using fruit juice instead of wine.

Ingredients: 
750 ml of red wine, one peeled and sliced orange,¼ cup of brandy, 8-10 cloves of nutmeg, 2/3 cup honey or sugar, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1 tsp fresh ginger

Preparation: 
Combine all ingredients in either a large pot or a slow cooker. Gently warm the ingredients on low to medium heat for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure that the honey or sugar has completely dissolved. When the wine is steaming and the ingredients have been well blended it is ready to serve. Be sure to use a stainless steel, ceramic, heatproof glass or non-stick coated cooking pot because other materials, like aluminium, will react with the acidity of the wine and spoil the taste of the finished mulled wine. 




Enjoy :)
