Homemade Mulled Wine Syrup Recipes

HOMEMADE MULLED WINE SYRUP

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients together in a large pan on the hob. Over a medium heat bring the mixture to a boil, stirring regularly. Reduce to a high simmer for 20 minutes or until the syrup reaches your desired consistency, stirring every few minutes. As the mixture is cooking I like to push down on the clementines with a spoon to release as much flavour as possible into the syrup.
• Allow the mixture to cool slightly before straining it through a sieve. Pour the sieved syrup into an sterilised air tight bottle.
• To make mulled wine heat 750ml of red wine and 100ml of mulled syrup together in a saucepan on a low heat. Keep the mixture on the heat just long enough for it to warm up, you do not want it to boil. Serve in glasses with slices of orange and a star anise.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a saucepan with 1 litre water and bring slowly to a simmer, making sure all the sugar has been completely dissolved. Turn down the heat and simmer for 20 mins. Leave to cool, then strain through a very fine sieve.
• Sterilise your bottles by washing them in hot soapy water, rinsing well, then drying them in a warm oven. Meanwhile, rewarm the syrup until just hot, then pour into the bottles while still hot and seal.
• Before giving away, add labels with serving instructions: Heat 400ml syrup with 750ml red wine or cider and some slices of orange or apple. Syrup will keep in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Combine the wine, sugar, vanilla bean, star anise, and peppercorns in a wide pot or skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to medium; cook until the liquid becomes syrupy and has reduced by about two-thirds, about 10 minutes.
• Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the syrup into a small container; discard the spices and let cool. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate.
• Use white wine instead of red, and use 1 vanilla bean and five or six 1/4-inch slices of fresh ginger.
