Stage 3 - 5 min.
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.
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.

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.
