Mulled Wine Recipe
By Chris • Apr 13th, 2009 • Category: Food and WineAs the weather gets a bit colder, it’s a great time to relax with some warm, spicy mulled wine. You can experiment with different recipes and adjust the quantities of wine, water and sugar depending on whether you want a stronger or sweeter drink. This is how I make it.
1 bottle of medium to full bodied red wine – a cabernet sauvignon is good
1 cup water
2 Tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 sliced orange
1 sliced lemon
1 stick cinnamon
6-8 cloves
6-8 split cardomom pods
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat to simmering point over a very low heat stirring occasionally. Don’t let it boil or the alcohol will evaporate. Keep it barely at simmering point for about 20 minutes. Serve it warm in warmed sturdy glasses or metal goblets.
