Mulled wine cocktail recipe and pizza

Mulled wine cocktail

Ingredients
    100g/4oz light muscovado sugar
    1 star anise
    1 cinnamon stick
    4 cloves
    150ml water
    1 lemon
    2 clementines
    150ml Cointreau
    750ml/ 1¼pint bottle light red wine, such as Beaujolais
    Twist of orange zest and a star anise, to serve

Method
    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.
