Last weekend’s Christingles event was a great success. We were lucky with the weather during the Christmas market but when Southwark Concert Band started their phenomenal performance, the rain came down! Luckily there was plenty of mulled wine in the cafe to keep people warm. We will now have to wait another year for festive fun at Myatt’s but meanwhile you can treat yourself to some mulled wine using our recipe:
Ingredients:
1 orange
1 apple
1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine
2 tablespoons sugar
4 whole cloves
2 whole juniper berries
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1 whole star anise
1 nutmeg
1 lemon
Instructions for four servings
Using a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler, cut peel from orange, apples, lemons in wide strips, avoiding white pith.
In a large pot, combine orange peel, wine, sugar, cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, bay leaf and star anise. Bring to a bare simmer (do not let simmer or boil) over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and serve hot.
If you missed it, some lovely people posted photos and a video on our Twitter account @myattsfields.
