Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Mulled wine Belle-Plagne style
I advise you to use a very basic wine.

Pour 1 litre red wine into a pan and bring to the boil on medium heat.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Meanwhile, cut fruit in half, set half an orange and a half grapefruit aside, and squeeze the others.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Mulled wine Belle-Plagne style
Scrub the skin of the other 2 half fruit thoroughly, and cut into small pieces, with both peel and flesh on each as far as possible.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Mulled wine Belle-Plagne style
When wine boils, set light to the alcohol vapours (a pretty blue flame) by holing a flame above the pan.

Leave all alcohol to burn off, which will take about 2-3 minutes.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Remarks
Many people think that the most important thing in mulled wine is the spices, but for me it's more the wine-fruit mix which gives the delicious hint of acidity. Then you can add whatever you want: vanilla, cinnamon, aniseed, pepper,...

For a quick mulled wine, forget: vanilla sugar, grapefruit and cinnamon.

For a glittering presentation, serve in glasses (not mugs) with the edges dipped in white egg then caster sugar.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.
Source: Home made, and this recipe is dedicated to David who will certainly bemoan the short measure of cinnamon.
