Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g light muscavado sugar
  • 375ml red wine
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 star anise
  • 6 cardamom pods
  • 8 whole cloves
  • ½ vanilla pod, split lengthwise and scraped or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bourbon essence
  • 1 medium orange, cut into slices

Instructions

  1. Place cinnamon, star anise, cardamom and cloves in a large saucepan or cast iron pot. Dry roast spices over medium heat for 1 – 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Remove from the heat, allow to cool slightly and then add wine, sugar, orange slices and vanilla.
  3. Return to the stove and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a medium boil, letting the spiced wine bubble away until it turns into a thick syrup.
  4. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid, and leave to infuse for 30 minutes so the flavours can develop.
  5. Strain the mulled wine syrup and transfer it to a sterilized air-tight bottle. Will keep in the fridge for up to one month.
