Prep time

Ingredients
- Red Wine: 750ml/ 1 1/4 pint bottle light red wine, such as Beaujolais
- Lemon: 1 lemon
- Muscovado Sugar: 100g/4oz light muscovado sugar
- Water: 150ml water
- Orange Zest: Twist of orange zest and a star anise, to serve
- Clove: 4 cloves
- Cinnamon Stick: 1 cinnamon stick
- Star Anise: 1 star anise
- Clementine: 2 clementines
- Cointreau: 150ml Cointreau
Directions
- Put 100g light muscovado sugar in a pan with 1 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves and 150ml water. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Simmer for 2 mins, then pour into a large jug and leave to cool. Add 1 lemon and 2 clementines, both thinly sliced, to the jug along with 150ml Cointreau and a 750ml bottle light red wine, such as a Beaujolais. Stir well, then cover and chill for at least 2 hrs or overnight if you can.
- Serve chilled or over ice, with a twist of orange zest and a star anise. If you'd like to serve a traditional warm mulled wine, there's no need to chill - simply warm through without boiling and serve in heatproof glasses.
