festive drink

Make perfectly spiced mulled wine at Christmas with our easy recipe. Use a good quality red wine like an unoaked tempranillo or try a twist with a dash of sloe gin

Classic mulled wine

red wine

cinnamon stick,

star anise

cloves

lemon

tbsp caster sugar

Put the red wine, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, lemon zest and sugar in a large pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 mins.

Remove from the heat and cool, leaving to infuse for about 30 mins.

To serve, heat without boiling, stir in the sloe gin (if using, see tip below) and pour into mugs or heatproof glasses.

Ready in 10 minutes, this warming mulled cider is so simple to make. I&#39;m using mulled fruit teabags, instead of individual spices for the ultimate simplicity.

Add everything to a pan.

Remove the mulled fruit teabags and orange peel.

Serve immediately, or keep warm over a low heat until ready to serve.

Serve topped with slices of clementine and fresh cranberries
