First of all you need a good excuse for making such a drink: chilly Winter weather. We definitely have that at the moment!
So to comfort you during the cold, here's our recipe for mulled wine. Tell us what you think of it!

It's simple to prepare, but extremely effective.

The ingredients:



One litre of wine, a fruity regional variety for example.
Six soupspoons of sugar (and for that extra original touch, two spoonfuls of Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche honey!)
A zest of orange
The juice of a few oranges
Three cloves
Cinnamon
A pinch of Espelette spice (similar to chilli, to give it a bit of a kick!)
Pepper

How to make it:

Heat the wine gently until it starts to simmer, then add the ingredients one by one; sugar, honey, cinnamon, pepper and the Espelette spice.
Bring to the boil.
Let the win evaporate for a few minutes to lower the alcohol content.












Cheers to our faithful readers. We hope that our mulled wine will help you enjoy the holiday period!



We have tested the recipe ourselves, and hope it shows that we enjoyed it!
