Ingredients
- 1 Large Orange
- 3 Lemons

- 2 x Cinnamon Sticks
- 150g/5½oz Caster Sugar (optional)
- Brandy, To Taste (optional)
Method
- Carefully peel the zest very thinly from the orange and lemons using a vegetable peeler. Squeeze out the juice and reserve.
- Stick the cloves into the satsumas.
- Pour the wine, 1.2 litres/2 pints of cold water, and the citrus peel and juices into a large, heavy-based saucepan. Add the clove-studded satsumas and cinnamon sticks.
- Bring the mixture just to the boil, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering, cover the pan with the lid, and continue to simmer for about 1 hour.
- Stir in the sugar gradually during cooking, until the mulled wine is sweetened to your liking (you may only need a pinch of sugar).
- Strain the mulled wine and serve hot in cups.
