Miriam Nice makes the perfect spiced mulled wine at Christmas and a non-alcoholic version too.
Method
Step 1
Put the red wine, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, lemon zest and sugar in a large pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 mins.
Step 2
Remove from the heat and cool, leaving to infuse for about 30 mins.
Step 3
To serve, heat without boiling, stir in the sloe gin (if using, see tip below) and pour into mugs or heatproof glasses.
