Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Port wine
- 1 large Orange
- 12 pieces Cloves
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 50 g Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 250 ml Water
- 1 Optional garnish: orange slices or cinnamon stick
Instructions
Wash the orange thoroughly and use a sharp knife to pierce the skin in several places.
Stud the orange with the cloves, inserting the pointed ends into the skin evenly around the fruit.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the clove-studded orange, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, brown sugar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Gradually pour in the port wine and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to boil the wine, as this will burn off the alcohol.
Simmer the mixture gently for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to merge.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Carefully strain the mulled wine into a heatproof pitcher to remove the orange, cloves, and cinnamon stick.
Pour the mulled port wine into mugs or heatproof glasses, garnishing with orange slices or a cinnamon stick if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this spiced 19th-century treat!
