Make the party swing with this delicious punch, which is like traditional mulled wine - only better.
Ingredients
- 18 cloves
- 6 large strips of orange zest
- 1 bottle of red wine, such as claret
- Pared zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tbsp Billington’s Demerara Sugar
- 5cm cinnamon stick
- 15g ginger, thinly sliced and bruised
- 2 tbsp orange-flavoured liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau
Method
- 1. Push 3 cloves into each strip of orange.
- 2. Mix the clove-studded orange strips and all the other ingredients together in a large pan. Half fill the wine bottle with water and add to the pan or add 375ml water.
