Mulled Wine

Mulled wine is comforting drink during the winter.  It is delicious because it is a warm mixed flavour drink.

The quantities for this recipe are for 4 people, so feel free to adjust depending on how many people you have for drinks.

To make this recipe, you will need:

• An orange
• 750 milliliters of red wine ( I picked a Merlot, because it is generally a soft red wine)
• 5 tablespoons of Cointreau®
• Some orange zest
• 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 8 cloves
• 1 stick of cinnamon
• Some ginger (2 or 3 teaspoons)
• A pitch of nutmeg

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 1 hour

Start by grating the orange to get some zest.

Then, slice your orange.

Pour the wine into a saucepan. Add the Cointreau®.

Add the orange zest, the orange slices, the sugar, the gloves, the cinnamon stick, the ginger, and the nutmeg.

Slightly mix with a wooden spoon, cover the saucepan with the lid, and let sit on low heat for about one hour.

Serve and enjoy!

Note: During the preparation, you can always have a taste and adjust the quantities depending on your taste ... feel free to add a bit more cinnamon or less sugar, etc ...
