Cold winter evenings with friends are made exponentially better if you have a glass of mulled wine in hand. "Mulling" is a process in which spices and alcohol are warmed long enough for the flavours of the spices to seep into the drink. It's a Christmas favourite.
Home chef Shruti Murdeshwar shares her recipe for the drink flavoured with orange, cinnamon, anise and cloves. Here's how you can make mulled wine.
Add wine, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom and Cointreau (optional) to a large saucepan.
