Speaking of hot drinking, everyone must be very familiar with the story of Cao Cao's "Heroes of Cooking Wine". In fact, in the West, there is also a tradition of cooking wine, such as hot drinking with spices.

Spiced wine is a hot drink made from wine and spices. In European countries such as Germany and France, hot drinking with spices is a must-have beverage during autumn and winter festivals such as Halloween and Christmas.

Today I will introduce to you the method of hot drinking with spices.

I hope this alcoholic beverage with a distinctive flavor can add some fun to your Christmas Eve!

Spiced Hot Drink Mulled Wine | John's Small Kitchen recipe

2. Add red wine, cardamom, cloves, star anise, cinnamon and 4 thick sliced oranges to the pot.

3. Then add two tablespoons of maple syrup.

4. Heat the red wine on a low fire until it is about to boil, then keep the temperature in the pot below 78.5 degrees Celsius, and continue to simmer the red wine for 10-15 minutes.

5. After the red wine is cooked, strain it into a large bowl.

6. Put the filtered red wine into a glass. At this time, if everyone feels that the concentration of the wine is not enough (because the alcohol volatilizes during the warming process), you can add an appropriate amount of brandy.

7. Decorate a stick of cinnamon in the cup, and a cup of spice hot drink is ready!

Tips:
1. Minors and pregnant women are not allowed to drink alcohol.

2. Alcohol is harmful to the human body, please do not drink excessively.

3. In the process of cooking wine, you must use a small fire and keep the temperature below 78.5 degrees Celsius. Because the boiling point of alcohol (78.37 degrees Celsius) is lower than that of water (100 degrees Celsius), high-temperature cooking will cause the alcohol to evaporate excessively, leaving only grape juice in the remaining drinks.

4. During the cooking process, the alcohol will inevitably evaporate. If you feel that the alcohol content of the final hot drink is not enough, you can add some brandy or rum in an appropriate amount.
