Mulled Wine Kit
This recipe provides a charming way to assemble a homemade mulled wine kit, perfect for gifting. You will prepare a spiced sugar pouch and a clove-studded orange to accompany a bottle of red wine. The kit is then packaged with clear instructions for the recipient to transform it into a warming, spiced drink. It's a delightful and personal present for any wine lover, ready to be simmered and enjoyed.
Ingredients
- 25cm square butter muslin (available from department & hardware stores)
- 85g demerara sugar
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 70cl bottle red wine
- 8 - 12 cloves
- 1 orange
Method
- Lay the muslin flat and place the sugar, ginger, and nutmeg in its middle. Secure it into a small bag with string and fasten this to the wine bottle's neck. Use a little raffia to attach the cinnamon stick to the bottle as well.
- Press the cloves into the orange's skin. Line a box with raffia or shredded paper and place the orange and the prepared wine bottle inside it.
- Fix a label to the bottle neck with these directions: ‘Tip the contents of the muslin bag into a pan with the wine, orange, cinnamon stick and 300ml/½pt water. Simmer for 5 mins, then serve.’
