I'm dedicating this recipe to a very good Trinidadian friend of mine. The recipe itself is my basic Mulled wine recipe, but with a West Indian twist. This recipe has never failed to impress and even those who profess to hate mulled wine love this!

Ingredients:

2 x 750ml bottles of red wine (Rioja or Bordeaux preferably)
500ml orange juice
Juice of 3 oranges, 2 limes, 1 lemon
100ml dark rum
2 tbsp honey
50g muscovado sugar
½ orange studded with cloves
½ lemon, ½ lime
Muslin bag containing the mulling spices:
1 cinnamon stick cut in half
4 allspice berries
1 cm piece of ginger cut into slivers
¼ tsp freshly-ground black pepper
½ tsp freshly-grated nutmeg

Method:

Take an orange half and stud 10 cloves into its rind. Take the remaining spices and tie into a muslin bag. Meanwhile juice the limes, oranges and lemons. Add the juice to a saucepan and pour in the wine, rum, honey and sugar. Place this on a medium heat and add in the clove-studded orange half, the lemon half, the lime half and the muslin bag of spices. Heat until just at the point of boiling, simmer for at least ten minutes and serve hot.
