Mulled Wine - 3 Bottles and A Bunch of Sugar

Posted by Chris on August 28, 2008

Lady Knight, a “modern day woman”, posted this mulled wine recipe in July. I like it because it is a recipe for enough mulled wine to easily serve 10 to 15 people but the ingredients seem a little disproportionate.

3 cloves in 3 bottles of wine? Why bother? I like the idea of the juniper berries. 900g caster sugar? Holy…!

Anyway, try it:

Serves: 6-8 (10-15 light drinkers)

Prep: 5 min
Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

2 oranges
2 Lemons
3 x 750ml bottles Red wine
2 vanilla pods, split
1 cinnamon stick
1 litre water
900g caster sugar
3 Cloves
4 Juniper berries
1 bay leaf

Method

1. Peel the rind from the oranges and lemons and squeeze the juice from the fruit.

2. Combine the rind and juice in a large pot and add the remaining ingredients. Gently bring the mixture to the boil, then leave for 10 minutes to infuse. Serve warm.
