how to make mulled wine?

Answer 1

mulled wine



To make about 15-20 glasses

Ingredients
Two bottles robust red wine: can be as cheap as you like as long as not too astringent
One bottle tapwater
3cm piece of fresh ginger
One quill cinnamon
Teaspoon each of juniper berries, fennel seed and allspice
12 cloves and 12 cardamon pods
One orange and one lemon
Sugar and spirits to taste (see below).

Method
Peel the ginger and almost slice it through several times to expose the interior. Thinly peel the orange and lemon, reserving the flesh to serve later. Put the peel with all the spices in a big pan (preferably stainless steel, as enamel can discolour and hold the smell for a disconcerting time). Pour over the wine and water, bring to a simmer, and leave, covered, to steep overnight.

When you are ready to serve (or to bottle for later), cut the citrus into neat slices. Bring the wine almost to the boil, then remove from the heat. Stir in sugar to taste (I like only a couple of tablespoons, but lots of people expect it quite sweet). If not worried about the alcohol and the expense, pour in some brandy or other spirits.

To serve, pour into a warmed jug though a sieve, and add the fruit slices. For obvious reasons, stemmed glasses or pottery goblets are most comfortable to drink from.
To bottle, strain and fill almost to the top. Add a few bits of assorted spice that won't get stuck in the neck of the bottle (but not any peel) then cork. (If you are bottling it all, you can leave out the water and sugar, and add these later.) Use the fruit slices for something else.


Mulled Wine Recipe


As the weather turns colder, grownups turn to mulled wine as a flavorful way to warm up.
There are many, many recipes for mulled wine. It is essentially a combination of citrus (1 lemon or orange) and spices.

My favorite spices are cinnamon (6 sticks), cloves (12 whole), nutmeg (1/4 tsp), ginger (1/8 tsp), and allspice (1/8 tsp).

Combine the spices and citrus in a dry red wine, such as Burgundy. Add 1/4 cup sugar. Heat this through for at least 15 minutes, but don't boil. A clean, large coffee pot is a great method for heating the wine.

Use an inexpensive wine for this recipe. Don't get something that tastes absolutely horrible, but this is the time to look at the bottom wine shelf at the grocery store.
