Merry Christmas one and all!
Just one quick Christmas recipe, because I need to get to bed otherwise Santa might not turn up! Mulled wine, wicked for Christmas and very warming in this freezing cold too. You can personalise your spice mix as much as you like, but I'll give you the basics.
Ingredients:
Bottle (or more) of red wine
Per bottle:
Some peppercorns
3 tbs brown sugar
Two oranges and a lemon stuck with cloves (you might need to stick in a skewer first to make a hole, then pop the clove in)
A good grating of nutmeg
A cinnamon stick
One or two star anise
A sprinkling of Allspice
Anything else spicy you fancy
Method:
1. Bung it all in a big pan
2. Leave overnight to infuse (optional)
3. Bring to a simmer
4. Simmer for 5-10 minutes
5. Ladle it out and booze up
6. Fall asleep in front of the fire.
Merry Christmas! The blog will (hopefully) resume on Boxing Day.
