• 2 stars of anise
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 stick of lemongrass
• Demerara sugar 1 tablespoon

Cooking Instructions:

1. Mulled wine is a real Christmas classic, but in this recipe we will give it a modern 21st century twist.
2. First, pour the whole bottle of red wine into the pan and gently heat.
3. Then, we will basically prepare an aromatic teabag. Take a piece of muslin cloth, then, double it up. On the cloth put 20 g of cardamom pods, 10 g of cloves. Then, add 2 stars of anise and a cinnamon stick. Next, cut 1 stick of lemongrass and add to the aromatic mixture. Once all the aromatic spices are on the cloth, folds it in and tie tightly. Put it into wine.
4. Then, add zest of one orange and cut in 6 parts whole orange and also add it into the pan.
5. Then, add a tablespoon of Demerara sugar and 20 g of ginger.
6. Next, heat the wine gently for 3-4 minutes to infuse all the fantastic flavors. But do not let it boil.
