Christmas Ideas 2
At Velvet, the office team are already craving mulled wine!
Everyone has their own way of making it (those of us who are pushed for time even buy it ready made - shhh!) but we thought we would share our favourite mulled wine recipe with you.
- 2 bottles of Red Wine
- 70ml of Brandy
- 10 Cloves (you can stick these in the orange and lemon if you fancy it!)
- 1 teaspoon of Nutmeg
- 2 Lemons (sliced, leave peel on)
- 2 Oranges (sliced, leave peel on)
- 50 grams Sugar
- 4 Cinnamon Sticks
Gently heat the wine in a saucepan, do not boil.
Add the lemons, oranges, brandy, spices and sugar and leave to simmer for approximately 20 minutes.
Add cinnamon sticks and simmer for a few minutes more then serve warm in mugs or glasses.
(this recipe is enough for approx. 12 small wine glasses or 6 mugs and can be varied according to taste)
Enjoy!
