Hi Rinroo

I am sure it would work. There is an easy recipe and presentation idea here

Wish I had thought of it as it looks so much nicer than the plain bottle of mulled wine I bought in Asda yesterday. Only concellation was that it only cost £2

I've got making my own mulled wine gift sets on my list for next year. Think it makes a lovely pressie.

Lakeland are selling a mulled wine kit that looks easy to copy (could attach the bits to a wooden spoon if whisks are hard to come by)

I am going to make this for my OH and dad as they don't like hot choc.

my cones arrived today - my mum bought them from Lakeland for me and posted them. cost £1.95 instead of £3.95 Lakeland charge!

SeeBee thanks for that, im going to make this and add it to my dad and step mums caravaning hamper. It looks lovely.

Do you think i need to use the butter muslin or would a cello bag work ok??

Hi Rinroo

You do need the muslin as it holds all the spices together. The whole lot is thrown into the heating wine then fished out before serving.

Maybe you could substitute it with some other fabric

rinroo not sure if this will help or not but you can buy muslin squares from asda in the baby section ... you could cut them to make them smaller?

To all you wonderful moneysavers I have been reading lots of posts over the last few months and getting some really great ideas.....the snowman soup is nearly completed thanks to my DS (9) who helped, hampers are just waiting to be wrapped. I have finally managed to sort out my password etc so I could post, so from a newbie who is very inspired by you all, lots and lots of thanks xx:xmassmile
