I am about to make this wonderful mix for the 3rd year now.
Just thought it deserved a revival.

Thats kind Bodge thanks

We have recently taken to buying the alcohol free red wine from Asda and mulling a batch of that when we have friends around. There are inevitably a number who are driving and a mug of mulled alcohol free wine seems to go down well as an alternative to the inevitable coke or orange juice.

Thanks for the kind words

Double check the labels before you stick them on the bottles Red

Actually, I may knock up some alcho free this year. We have the tribe round for Christmas dinner and some will be driving. The beauty of this mix is that you just add it to your chosen wine when your guests require refreshments.
I bought a bottle of ready done mulled wine from Lidl last week and was quite dissapointed compared to making my own from the recipie. Swimbo only had half a glass and I ended up drinking the rest over 2 nights and tbh was slightly relieved when it was gone.
I really do recommend this mix.

I could do with some training before I go to Chamonix at Chrimbo

Hey ,
Cheers for this , mainly the non-alch recommendation , so simple but I'd never have thought of it . And just the thing for an outdoor get together I'm setting up for old school friends at a wood we all used to play in as kids over 20 years ago .
Cheers , Trev .

It is an ingenious idea tbh, rather then making the wine make the syrup to go in the wine.
how long does the syrup keep hugh? worth making this in late autumn ready for christmas?

 

[British Red]

I've kept it for months chap

Gave it a go this evening and it is pretty good, its cooling in a bottle just now, but the sample I took off was great, thanks for the reminder of this, and thanks for the original recipe!

Just reducing 3L of syrup - also have 30 bottles of home made Rioja in the brew house - all round to mine in 20 minutes

My daughter is making this now, we're going to have it for Christmas Eve.

Hope you enjoy!

My daughter made me a Victoria Sponge yesterday (now gone) and shortbread today (spoiled Daddy). We are having a pewter goblet of mulled wine apiece right now since there was a bit left over
