You may be planning your perfect Christmas party outfit (think sustainable pieces), planning the presents for friends & family and decorating the tree but nothing screams of the season more than having a glass of oh-so-comforting mulled wine. We’ve been testing a few variations of the recipe for the past few weeks in preparation (oh yes, we like to be prepared - esp when it comes to wine!) and found the perfect recipe so here you go:
Ingredients
-
750ml bottle red wine - Merlot works well
-
1 large cinnamon stick
-
2 star anise
-
5 cloves
-
2 strips lemon zest, pared using a vegetable peeler
-
4 tbsp caster sugar
Method
-
Put the red wine, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, lemon zest and sugar in a large pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 mins.
-
Remove from the heat and cool, leaving to infuse for about 30 mins.
-
To serve, heat without boiling and pour into mugs or heatproof glasses.
Enjoy lovelies! xx
