This easy slow cooker mulled wine recipe can be made while you get on with trimming the tree and decorating the house. All you need is half a bottle of wine, a handful of spices and some citrus fruit.
Ingredients
- ½ bottle red wine
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise
- 2 cloves
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 50g/1¾oz brown sugar
Method
Combine all the ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on low until warm (1-2 hours, depending on your slow cooker). Alternatively, place all of the ingredients into a saucepan and simmer gently for 6-8 minutes, without boiling.
To serve, pour the mulled wine into heatproof glasses.
Recipe tips
If you're having a party this Christmas, you can double or quadruple the wine and sugar quantities but leave the rest the same. Making mulled wine in the slow-cooker is completely hands off, but do give it a couple of hours to heat up. (You could start it in a pan and transfer to the slow cooker to keep it at the perfect temperature all evening.)
