Directions
- To a saucepan add red wine (don't waste the good stuff), port, sugar, star anise, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon, peppercorns and the lemon and orange zest.
- Gently heat until just simmering and strain to serve. If you can make it in advance, turn off the heat and leave to mull for the flavours to develop. Re-heat to serve.
