Mulled wine is one of those drinks that you can adapt to suit your taste. On Bonfire Night you may well feel the need to add a little extra spice, but it's up to you. There's no harm in adding a little sherry, rum or port, and it might help to make more room in your drinks cupboard.
1 bottle red wine
A glass of port or sherry, or both
The peel of 1 orange
1 bay leaf
12 cloves
6 juniper berries
1 stick of cinnamon
A few blades of mace
Put all of the ingredients into a pan and gently bring to a simmer, turn the heat to as low as it will go and leave to infuse for 5 minutes. You can tie the flavourings into a little muslin bag in advance or, if loose, strain and keep warm.
