Ingredients

  • For red wine (per 1 L): 1 organic orange, peel or slices
  • For red wine: 2 cinnamon sticks (or 1 teaspoon ground)
  • For red wine: 5 cloves (or 1 teaspoon ground)
  • For red wine: 4 cardamom pods (or 1 teaspoon ground)
  • For red wine: 3 whole star anise
  • For red wine: 3 tablespoons brown rock sugar (or white sugar)
  • For red wine: 1 pinch nutmeg
  • For white wine (per 1 L): 1 organic orange, peel or slices
  • For white wine: 1 organic lemon, peel
  • For white wine: 1 cinnamon stick
  • For white wine: 1 knife-tip ginger powder
  • For white wine: 3 cloves
  • For white wine: 3 cardamom pods
  • For white wine: 1 pinch nutmeg
  • For white wine: 1 vanilla pod (or 1 sachet vanilla sugar)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix together the ingredients for either the red or white mulled wine blend.
  2. 2
    To make a larger batch to store, scale up the amounts and mix well. Fill into light-proof tins and use within about 2 months (jars work too, but store them in the dark).
  3. 3
    To grind cardamom or star anise fresh, use a spice or coffee grinder, or a mortar (note the spices won't dissolve as finely).
  4. 4
    It's best to use ground spices for the fine ingredients and leave coarse ones - cinnamon stick, vanilla pod, star anise - whole, removing them before serving.
