-
2 to 3 tablespoons of mulled wine spice mix (cinnamon, cloves, ginger, freeze-dried orange peel, cardamom, nutmeg)

Preparing mulled wine
-
Pour the wine into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
-
Add the spice mix and heat gently over medium-low heat. Let it infuse for 10 to 15 minutes without bringing it to a boil, so that the wine absorbs the aromas.
-
Add the orange slices a few minutes before the end.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and then add the honey (or raspberry syrup) and the juice of two squeezed oranges . Mix gently.
-
Decorate with an orange slice or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
-
Serve hot, ideally in mugs or thick cups.
Tips for the perfect mulled wine
-
For a sweeter mulled wine, add a little more honey at the end of the infusion.
-
Replace the orange slices with a little lemon for a more tangy taste.
-
This mulled wine can be kept at room temperature for a few hours or can be slightly warmed before serving.
