A very good version of this Scandinavian style mulled wine from ” Roast Figs Sugar Snow” by Diana Henry. Just what we need for this cold weather hitting us in the UK at the moment.
Ingredients
- 2 x 70cl bottles fruity red wine
- 200 g caster sugar
- 6 cloves
- 6 cardamom pods lightly crushed
- 1 cinnamon stick broken in two
- Peel of ½ orange in broad strips, remove the pith
- 250 ml aquavit or vodka
- 75 g raisins
- 20 g nibbed or flaked almonds
- 250 ml Madeira or Marsala
- 1 tbsp Angostura bitters
- Really generous slosh of Cointreau or other orange liqueur
Servings:
Instructions
- Put the wine into a large saucepan with the sugar. Gently heat, stirring to help the sugar dissolve.
- Put the spices and the orange peel in a little muslin bag (you can just drop them in if you don’t have any muslin, but you will need to fish them out again), and add this to the wine.
- Add all the other ingredients and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes or so, but don’t let the mixture boil.
- Serve in glasses with small spoons so that people can scoop out and eat the almonds and the boozy raisins.
