So, it’s the end of another year. Time for a little contemplation. What have I achieved? What haven’t I achieved? Things can get rather all too philosophical. Cue motivational meme.
So while you’re mulling things over, why not get on with the other, more practical kind of mulling and make some mulled wine. Trust me, it will be your best friend all through the long, grey January weeks.
Simply take a bottle of red wine, for once the quality really doesn’t matter as you add so much to it, and pour it into a saucepan. Over medium heat, add a tablespoon of mixed peel, a teaspoon of cloves, 4 lightly crushed cardamon pods, a teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, a tablespoon of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Heat for a few minutes until the mixture reaches a simmer and the sugar has dissolved. You’ll know it’s ready by its decidedly mulled winey nature.
Serve hot.
