We’re entering the season of warm drinks, cozy fireplaces and staying indoors. It’s the time to spice up and what better way than with a favourite hot mulled wine recipe. There are a lot of versions of mulled wine in every culture, the most known is probably the traditional German glühwein recipe usually served in the evenings after a particular cold day.
Here’s a recipe to try for a de-alcoholised mulled wine:
- 2 bottles of Lautus Savvy Red
- 2 Oranges, sliced into rounds
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon sticks
- 3 fresh bay leaves
- 2 star anise
- 1 vanilla pod (or a teaspoon of vanilla extract)
- 200g caster sugar
In large saucepan bring all ingredients to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 15 minutes and keep warm for up to 3 hours.
Serve using a large ladle and garnish with orange slices, cinnamon sticks and star anise.
