We have another arctic blast heading our way this weekend so I am planning on making some mulled wine or as it is called in French vin chaud which translates to hot wine.

 

 

 

 

Vin Chaud

1 Bottle Red Wine

1 Star anise

1 Orange 

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1 pinch  Gound Pepper

1 pinch Ground Nutmeg

½ tsp Cinnamon or use a couple of cinnamon sticks

3 Cloves

3 pinches Ground ginger 

Preparation:

Heat gently 1 bottle of red wine + a glass of water with the sugar and spices plus a few slices of orange.

Note: Infuse spices at least 10 minutes (the mixture should not boil)


You can replace the bottle of wine with a good bottle of apple juice, it really is delicious.

très bon vendredi à tous, Leeann x
