Mulled Wine

Great recipe which can be made in advance with the Mulled orange syrup. When required this can be reheated with the addition of red wine or cranberry juice, for a non-alcoholic version.

Ingredients

1.7L (3 pints) water

225g/8oz granulated sugar

2-3 cinnamon sticks

3 oranges

10-12 cloves

2 bottles red wine

1 apple and orange to serve

Method

Roughly cut up the oranges and place in a sauce pan with all the other ingredients, except for the red wine.听 Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil, simmer for 30 minutes, and strain.听 (The syrup can be made up to this stage and then stored in the fridge until required.)听

To serve, return the syrup to the pan, bring听 to boiling point, add the wine and slice of apple and orange and serve.
