Hot and spicy


Tiss nearly the season to be merry. So I was looking out a couple of my warming drinks recipes and thought I would pass them on.
Mulled wine
There are various recipes for this seasonal drink. Many a tale of a merry time and a headache or a session with the head over the toilet. Will give an alcoholic one first then a non-alcoholic one.

Mulled wine
2 bottles red wine it will taste better with a good wine but not essential, as the spices will flavour it.
1pint water
1 pint orange juice (or can be water)
6 tablespoons sugar (or honey)
1 orange stuck with cloves
2 inch cinnamon stick.
2 lemons sliced
2 oranges sliced

Optional2 tbsn brandy or fruit liquor (cointreau cherry brandy)

Method add all the ingredients apart from brandy or fruit liquor
Heat slowly till just simmering DO NOT BOIL heat for about 20 minutes
Pour into serving bowl add brandy/ fruit liquors and serve warm.
