Our Little House in the Country

Nothing smells more like Christmas to me than a pot of mulled wine simmering on the stove.

My mulled wine has become a favourite amongst our friends and family and is usually a staple for all our festive gatherings. So that everyone can partake in the Christmassy yumminess I also make a non alcoholic mulled fruit punch. What’s even better is that they are so easy to make.

How to Make Mulled Wine and Mulled Fruit Punch

 

Mulled Wine (alcoholic):

1 bottle of red wine- I prefer to use Shiraz but any variety will do
1 litre Orange juice
500mls Cranberry juice
Small glass of brandy
Whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
3 apples cut up
2 oranges sliced
1 teaspoon mixed spices
Place all ingredients in a large pot and warm on a gentle heat. Do not boil! Serve in glasses with handles or mugs!
