Mulled red wine Recipe

In a pan, over a low heat, stir together the sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves and clementine zest and juice. Let the sugar dissolve in the juices then turn up the heat and cook for another 5 minutes until syrupy.

Cook's tip: use either a stainless steel, ceramic, heatproof glass or non-stick pan to mull the wine. The acids in the wine can react with aluminium and give the brew a metallic taste
