MINIMAL Chai-Spiced Mulled Wine Infuse complex flavours quickly and easily into mulled wine by using fragrant chai tea bags, and garnishing with exotic dried spices. A dash of rum complements the flavours beautifully.

MAXIMAL Flamed Mulled Wine

Maximalists: A long match or candle-lighting torch lets you flame at a safe distance.

A baking spice syrup creates deep layers of flavour as a base to complement both wine and brandy. Clove- spiked orange skins become a dramatic flaming garnish and add yummy caramelized flavour to the finished drink. Try with...
