Mulled Wine

It's finally December! Which means I can finally talk about all things Christmassy and no one can say a thing! 

A couple of weeks ago I saw some lovely recipe ideas on Pinterest for mulled wine and decided to give it a try myself. 

You need the following: 

• 1 litre dry red wine (doesn't need to be expensive)
• 2 (5cm) cinnamon sticks 
• 1 dessertspoon whole cloves
• 1 dessertspoon whole allspice
• 1 large piece orange peel
• 1 large piece lemon peel 
• 4 tablespoons sugar (or how ever much you want, try before you add more)

Method: 

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the red wine, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, lemon rind and orange rind. Heat gently, but don't bring it to the boil. Stir in the 4 tablespoons of sugar, and then taste, to see if you'd like to add more!

2. Keep hot on medium to low heat for 20 minutes to let the flavours infuse the wine. 

3. Nothing else except serve and enjoy!
