Recipe | Mulled Wine | Camera Cuisine

Ingredients:
· 1 bottle (750ml) of red wine (choose something fruity but not too sweet and expensive—Merlot, Zinfandel, or Cabernet Sauvignon all work well)
· 1 orange/ kinnow, sliced into rounds
· 2 kinnow for freshly squeezed juice
· I Lemon sliced into rounds
· 1/4 cup apple cider (optional)
· 1/4 cup honey or Maple Syrup
· 8 whole cloves
· 2 cinnamon sticks
· 2 star anise
· 2 bay leaves
· 2 cardamoms
· Orange & Lemon zest
· 1/2 teaspoon, fresh ground nutmeg
· Few drops of Vanilla Extract
· Garnishes: citrus slices (orange, lemon and/or lime), extra cinnamon sticks

Method:
1. Combine honey, cider and orange juice into a deep saucepan or a wok.

2. Mix all ingredients well and let it cook on medium heat till the honey dissolves in well

3. Add to this mix the sliced fruit, zests and all spices :cloves, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, nutmeg powder and stir in well

4. Now add the wine into the boiling juices and mix well. Let this mix simmer on low heat for 30 minutes

5. Making sure that the wine does not boil, so the alcohol does not cook out.

6. You’ll love the aromas of the spices being cooked.

7. Strain the liquid and ladle the wine into cups / wine glasses while its warm

8. Garnish with more fruit, star anise, and cinnamon sticks if desired

Enjoy!

Note: you are supposed to heat honey in general as it looses all its goodness. Even though here we are using it as a sugar replacement, I much rather use maple syrup or more of the orange juice

Variations :

· You can use a juice and a fresh fruit of your choice. Cranberry, pomegranates will work super too

· If the temperature is colder, feel free to add ½ a cup of brandy as well

· You can glaze with maraschino cherries too

· Spices can be altered to your taste as well eg. don"t use nutmeg if you don"t like the taste

· Serve it warm or room temperature. I prefer & recommend warm though
