This recipe with fresh citrus and whole spices gives the mulled wine a delicious vibrancy. You can get creative using other bases like apple cider, or for an alcohol free version, spice up your warm apple juice!
1 bottle red wine (alternatively, cider or apple juice for non alcohol drinkers and kids)
2 large oranges, juiced (add in both juice and rinds)
3 lemon slices
Fresh ginger slices
Whole spices: cinnamon pieces or stick, pinch of cloves (6-8), cardamom (use 5-7, crush slightly to release seeds), 2-3 star anis, nutmeg - grated
Sugar or honey to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
Gently heat to below boiling for 20min.
Turn off heat & leave covered to infuse to intensify spiced flavour.
Warm up again and strain into a glass or mug to serve.
Drink and be merry!
Festive wishes,
