Mulled wine or cider
For wine add orange zest, cloves, nutmeg, a cinnamon stick & a small amount of sugar to red wine and heat gently – do not boil
To cider use a flat, traditional cider, add an apple studded with cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, maybe some star anise – again heat but do not boil.
For both of the above you can experiment with the spices, or cheat and buy a mulling syrup.
