Mulled wine is the traditional drink of winter and it’s incredibly easy to make on the stovetop. It is made by gently warming red wine until hot, but not boiling. A dry red or chianti is good to use. Add lemon peel, cloves, cinnamon stick and nutmeg. It’s easy to customise with your favourite warning spices. Mulled wine is perfect for winter and holiday entertaining!
