1 packet for 1 bottle of wine or apple juice
Ingredients:
1 bottle of red wine (a big, full-on red, full of berry fruits. Something like an Australian, Californian or New Zealand Shiraz – either way it doesn’t need to cost too much)
OR 1 bottle organic Bramley apple juice (normal apple juice is fine, but you may need to add a some water to let the sweetness down a little)
1 Packet of Green Saffron Mulled Wine Spices
1 dash of Crème de Cassis (optional, but not recommended if using apple juice!)
Couple pieces of orange and lemon zest, parred from the fruit with a veg peeler works really well (optional)
How to put it together:
- Pour your chosen bottle of wine (or apple juice) and the Green Saffron Mulled Wine Spices into a thick bottomed saucepan
- Place the pan onto a gentle heat, stir and heat for a few minutes until the aromas send tingles down your spine and the wine is warm to the touch.
DON’T ALLOW IT TO BOIL AS YOU’LL ONLY END UP LOSING THE ALCOHOL!! - Add the Crème de Cassis, orange and lemon zest (if using) and stir again.
- Take off the heat, strain through a sieve into a suitable serving jug.
- Serve, drink, enjoy…..Sláinte!!
Serving suggestion:
For pure, warming indulgence you can also add a dash or two of brandy and port….just to help you through these cold nights.
Friends and family highly recommended!!!
Remember:
This recipe has been tried and tested by the Green Saffron Masaalchi and is pretty much guaranteed, but if you want to change the quantities of a couple of ingredients go for it….experiment and enjoy your cooking. With Green Saffron spices you can’t go wrong!!!
