Mulled Wine Spices, Spice Mix Kit Bag

Product Information

To make the mulled wine pouch, put a combination of all the ingredients in the centre of a piece of cheesecloth or muslin, then tie up neatly to seal, so it looks a bit like an old money bag; note that all the ingredients are optional, so adjust the quantities to suit your own taste. Also known as glühwein, vino caliente, glögg, vin brulé, bisschopswijn, vin chaud, candola, vinho quente…or literally a hundred other names, depending on where in the world life may find you. Needless to say, it seems like just about everyone in the world loves some hot wine. And clearly, I can vouch that you all do too! Step 3: Clip the corners of each unfolded tag, using either a punch or scissors. Fold the tag in half lengthwise – the tag should now remind you of an oversized tea bag tag. Place the coiled twine inside the fold, with the knot on the inside and the tail of the twine coming out the bottom of the folded card. Use a stapler to staple the two ends of the folded card closed, with the tail of the twine coming through the middle of the stapled section. If tugged gently, the twine should be able to slide out of the folded section. Cut oranges and ginger root into 1/8-in. slices, and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 3 to 4 hours at 170°.

Orange juice naturally sweetens the wine and adds a citrusy touch. I like adding juice rather than only infusing the wine with orange slices for a more pronounced citrus taste.

In the UK, the drink that's most similar is called pressed cloudy apple juice. I have not tried this with alcoholic apple cider. How to make homemade mulled wine

Red wine is the base of this recipe. I gathered my best tips on how to choose a good wine for Glühwine down below. Simmer over medium heat, keeping the temperature just below boiling. You should hear the liquid make a gentle murmuring sound, as the wine approaches boiling. When the simmer is up, use a fine mesh strainer to scoop out spices and fruit.Finding the right balance of sweetness is also crucial. Sweeteners like sugar and honey can be adjusted to taste. But be mindful of their impact on the flavor profile. A hot toddy, for instance, would traditionally be sweeter than mulled wine, so adjustments may be necessary. Using Different Cookware All you have to do is heat some apple cider, add your homemade mulling spice sachets, and then simmer until the flavor is right where you want it. This makes a sweet little gift and is a great way to use up store-cupboard ingredients. If you want to be really generous, gift the other mulled wine ingredients, too, be that the wine, honey or maple syrup, orange juice or even a bottle of spirits. Note that all the ingredients for the pouch are optional – I’ve included a long list in the hope that you’ll have at least some of them to hand. Like chai tea, mulled wine recipes vary greatly, and are delicious even when made with just a few spices. This traditional homemade mulled wine recipe is incredibly easy to make and always SO cozy and delicious.
