I haven't yet perfected a recipe for mulled wine as I usually only make it when we have Christmas parties. I stick a large pot of it on the stove, greet guests, then get back to see it has mostly evaporated!
You can make mulled wine as easy or as complicated as you like. Supermarkets here in the UK sell ready mixed bottles of mulled wine - you simply heat them up. They also sell small muslin bags of mixed spices that you can add to your own red wine. Or you can make your own mix.
This year I am going to use this recipe from Flourishing Foodie (pictured below). I like the sound of the addition of unsweetened apple cider and the mix of different citrus fruits.
To me, Sangria is like a summer version of mulled wine.This year we had a delicious Cava Sangria at Yemanja in Ibiza. It was made at the table, with an entire bottle of Cava poured into the fruit mix. It was really tasty and refreshing - ideal for a lazy weekend brunch. When the weather warms up I will definitely be trying to recreate that drink.
As I said above, I usually only make mulled wine if we are having a Christmas party. It seems to taste best when you come across a stand selling some when you are out on a freezing, snowy December night. We aren't actually planning on having a party this year, but MP and her family are coming to stay just before Christmas, so I will make the mulled wine along with a glazed ham when they visit.
For now, this Winter Sangria by Simple Bites (pictured below) could be a nice recipe to try.
Cheers! Have a great weekend!
