Mulled wine recipe

So now that we are sure Santa won’t get lost thanks to the lady reindeers, let’s sit back and relax with a glass of home-made Glühwein or mulled wine. It is great for warming you up or for when friends drop by, as it can be made ahead and reheated.

Empty 2 bottles of fruity wine into a large pan.
Slice 4 oranges into 6 wedges each and add to wine.
Add all of the below:
5 cloves,
100ml brandy
2 cinnamon sticks
1tsp mixed spice
6 tbsp golden granulated sugar (more if you have a sweet tooth)
Warm gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Take care not to boil the mixture as it will cook out the alcohol. Ladle the wine into glasses and enjoy!
