Mulled wine....and cider

lig

only loses its alcohol if you let it boil
second the low setting on the slow cooker could have been invented for this.

I made some last night for my party. A slight deviation on the one posted, but it was fantastic.

3 liter bottle of shop brand cider
1 lemon sliced
1 orange sliced
3-5 cinamon sticks
pinch grated nutmeg
6 cloves
1/2 lb sugar white and brown to taste, as cider can be quite dry/tart (add more if you think it's not sweet enough)
Boil it all up and keep it warm.
add a touch of brandy or spirit if you wish.

You can pretty much mess with it and add anything, it will work.

I made some mulled wine yesterday and it went down a treat and everyone had seconds

1 bottle full bodied red wine
1 1/4 pints water
1 orange spiked with cloves and then cut into sections
1 lemon cut into sections
1" cinnamon stick
1 tsp grated ginger (or dried)
2 tbs sugar
1tbs any liquor I used grand marnier (optional)
Cover, simmer very gently for at least 20 mins. I used one of those simmer trays with little spikes on it and it stayed happily on there for ages
