Mulled Wine

Incense for Meditation

Lesley produced some delicious mulled wine for our Yule ritual. Normally we have a little mead in the course of the proceedings, but this wonderful concoction was just what was needed on a chilly day. For tradition’s sake, Lesley was careful to include a little mead in the recipe…

Ingredients

• 1 bottle (75cl) red wine
• 25cl Mead
• 1 sherry glass of Port
• 1 heaped tablespoon Juniper berries
• 16 Cloves
• pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 1 tablespoon runny honey
• 3 Blackcurrant tea bags
• sugar to taste

Method

Put all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and leave for at least 1 hour. Heat until it just comes to the boil (you don't want to boil off all the alcohol). Strain, serve and enjoy.
