Mulled Wine Syrup for Festive Fizz

We find mulled wine a little bit much in the Australian summer, so this year we have made a syrup to add to bubbles for a chilled version of a Christmas tipple. Our mulling spices have a combination of allspice, cassia, ginger, cinnamon and cloves for a quintessential festive flavour.

Ingredients

Syrup

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.  When it is steaming, adjust heat so that the liquid does not boil but stays at steaming point.  Cover with a lid and maintain at steaming point for 45-50 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat, cool completely and strain to remove spices.
  3. Syrup can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 months.
  4. Using champagne flutes, place 20ml of syrup in the glass and top with 180ml of sparkling wine or champagne.  Makes enough syrup for 12 glasses of champagne (2 bottles).

Notes

  • Decant syrup into bottles for gifting with serving instructions
