🍷 Did you know you can make mulled wine in the slow cooker? It’s perfect for parties. The gentle heat helps the flavours combine without boiling the wine. You get a rich, deliciously aromatic drink that cooks while you’re getting ready. No need to stand and stir.
🎄 This mulled wine is scented with ginger, cardamom and cloves. There’s orange for sweetness. And a splash of rum adds extra heat. It’s our favourite Christmas drink.
Slow Cooker Mulled Wine
Serves 6-8
2 x 750ml bottles of red wine, such as merlot, shiraz or zinfandel
2 oranges, plus extra to serve
25 whole cloves
50g fresh ginger
4 cinnamon sticks
8 cardamom pods
250g Demerara sugar
Honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
100ml brandy or golden rum, to taste (optional)
Pour the wine into your slow cooker. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the zest off the oranges. Stud the zest with the cloves. Drop the peel into the slow cooker. Halve the peeled oranges and squeeze in the juice.
Slice the ginger into thin slices and add to the slow cooker with the cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. Tip in the Demerara sugar and gently stir to mix.
Pop the lid on the slow cooker. Set it to low. Gently cook for 4 hrs. Stir the mulled wine and taste. If it needs a little extra sweetness, drizzle in some honey or maple syrup. If you'd like to add some extra heat, add the brandy or rum.
Ladle the mulled wine into heatproof glasses. Slice a couple of oranges and tuck the slices into the glass. Serve straight away.
