Mulled Wine Kit Recipes

MULLED WINE KIT

Steps:

• Put the muslin on a flat surface and tip the sugar, ginger and nutmeg into the centre. Tie into a pouch with fine string and attach to the neck of the wine bottle. Then attach the cinnamon stick to the bottle with a little raffia.
• Stick the cloves into the orange and pack into a box lined with raffia or shredded paper, with the wine.
• Tie a label to the wine bottle with the following instructions: 'Tip the contents of the muslin bag into a pan with the wine, orange, cinnamon stick and 300ml/½pt water. Simmer for 5 mins, then serve.'

MULLED WINE SPICE -- GIFT MIX

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients and fill into a cleaned and sterilised jar (I used a small jam jar for this).
• Tie with a pretty ribbon and attach a gift tag with the following instructions:.
• Empty the contents of the wine bottle and of the spice mix jar into a pot. Heat on medium until nearly boiling, but DO NOT boil. Heat for 30 minutes, then strain the mulled wine and return it to the pot. Keep it warm if you want to serve it straight away, if not allow to cool and reheat when ready to use. You can also add some rum for a stronger version.

MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Using a peeler, remove the peel in strips from 1 orange then juice the orange. Slice the other orange into rounds and reserve for garnish.
• In a nonreactive saucepan, combine orange peel, juice and the rest of the ingredients. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high, bring mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently until flavors meld, about 30 minutes. Strain the mixture, discarding the solids.
• Ladle into cups or mugs. Garnish each with a reserved orange round.
