To make my mulled wine I buy a nice bottle of red wine. It doesn’t have to be an expensive bottle, but try not to buy a cheap one either. I pour the whole bottle into a large pan, then I gather the following ingredients:

• Cinnamon sticks – to warm the circulation and regulate glucose metabolism;

• A piece of star anise – for love and protection;

• A Winter Spice Infusion bag (contains black tea, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and cardamom);

• A good squirt of maple syrup – for a long life and spiritual healing; and

• A whole orange – for joy, health and purification.

I place the cinnamon sticks, star anise, infusion bag and maple syrup in the pan, with the wine. With each ingredient I add, I tell them the properties that I am using them for and what I want them to imbue the mulled wine with. I also stir the liquid and ingredients deosiI, adding my love and positive intent. I then slice up the orange into half centimeter or so slices, all the time thinking of the goodness and positivity the oranges can provide. I then add them to the pot, pop it on a low heat and simmer very gently for about half an hour. I use a ladle to scoop use mixture out into mugs. It’s so warming and comforting, especially when it’s so cold!

With the wine and spiced infused oranges that are left over, I pop them onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and bake them in the oven at 140°C for 45 minutes to an hour. Once dried, I’ll string ribbon through them and hang them on the Christmas tree, as they smell amazing!
