Recipe: mulled wine

Earlier, we told you all about the history of mulled wine; now it’s time to get started yourself with this festive drink. 

Put the wine, port and sweetener in a pan and heat slowly. Add the lemon, lemon zest and spices and heat again to a maximum of 70 °C. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool and infuse for several hours. Before serving: strain the wine and warm it up (and don’t let it boil this time either!).

Serving mulled wine

Serve in a beautiful glass, optionally with a cinnamon stick, a slice of lemon or orange, star anise, or a little honey.
