Ingredients
Red Mulled Wine
- 1 bottle red wine
- 200 ml water
- 80 g sugar (⅓ cup)
- 2 oranges (small, organic)
- 2 sticks cinnamon (about 5 g)
- 8 pods cardamom (about 5 g)
- ½ tsp cloves
- 1 tsp peppercorns (add white and red variety)
White Mulled Wine
- 1 bottle white wine
- 200 ml water
- 2 sticks cinnamon
- ½ tsp cloves
- 8 pods cardamom
- 1 piece ginger (size of half a thumb)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
The Syrup
- Combine sugar, 100 ml wine and all the spices in a small saucepan. Include slices of oranges for the red wine. Bring to a boil and wait until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes. This is your syrup.
The Wine
- Pour the rest of the wine in a larger saucepan. Mix in the syrup and set it to a medium low heat. Do not bring this to a boil. Just slowly heat it up until it becomes nicely warm but cooler than tea.
- For the white wine, this is the moment when you should stir in honey.
- If you don’t like the spices floating around, strain the wine now and serve it. You can add only a cinnamon stick for a decoration.
