It’s almost Christmas, and if you’re hosting a festive get-together this year, why not impress your guests by whipping up a delicious batch of mulled wine?
This classic festive drink is loved by millions all over the world, and is usually enjoyed out in the cold at a Christmas market.
However, with just a handful of simple ingredients – most of which are actually cupboard staples – you can make it at home, creating the perfect drink for your festive plans.
Whether that’s sitting on the couch in front of a film or celebrating with loved ones, there’s not many festive occasions that aren’t improved by mulled wine.
But did you know you can actually make it in your slow cooker?
Food TikToker Bored of Lunch, known for his simple yet delicious fuss-free recipes, shared his creation for slow cooker mulled wine a couple of days ago – and it has already racked up an impressive 16,000 views.
He says all you need to make this easy recipe is eight simple ingredients and a few hours of your time. But since it’s made in the slow cooker, you can leave the handy gadget to do all the work for you, while you nip out to the shops, prep food or do any other last-minute Christmas jobs.
And when you’re done, you can reward yourself with a warming, spiced glass of mulled wine – making your whole home smell absolutely delicious in the process.
In the video’s caption, he said: “Honestly my favourite smell at Xmas. The smell from this will travel to every room in your house being on a low and slow heat. Perfect for a day you’re hosting or even Christmas Eve.”
All you need to make this recipe is put all of the ingredients below into your slow cooker and leave it to cook for three hours on high, or five to six hours on low.
He added: “Put this on, go and wrap all your Christmas presents and then you come back to a nice glass of mulled wine. It’s so easy and you’ll love it.”
