  Really easy to make, looks lovely in the bottles labelled with christmas tags ready for presents, tried some with cider last night, tasty, I diluted it 2 parts cider / 1 part syrup as I just wanted 2 glasses. Plan to make some more next week.

  Excellent idea making ahead. Don't use too strong a wine. A cheaper light red is good, with a little more fruity taste. If you add a little brandy or rum to the syrup it gives it a bit of a kick when added to wine or cider. Happy Christmas.

  I made this with my mum on a snowy afternnoon! We doubled the recipe then squeezed the orange halves into the sieved syrup after cooling. We then bottled 3 500ml bottles as gifts, then sampled the rest with a bottle of Sainsburys house red wine shy of 1 full glass. It was the best mulled wine we have ever tried! Definately recommend!

  Have made this three times now - a couple of gifts and one for me. Made it up with one part syrup to two parts red wine and it tastes far better than shop bought mulled wine, much gentler flavour. Wouldn't buy mulled wine again :)

  Just made this for the first time and it is FANTASTIC! It is so easy to make and your house will smell wonderful in the process! Why oh why did I ever buy mulled wine from the shops. Try this recipe its great. I did as someone else suggested and squeezed the oranges in to the syrup (although I did it before filtering), and it tastes lovely! Merry Christmas!

  You're all so right; much better than the shop bought stuff! I made it today, had some left over and just sploshed some straight into my glass of red wine (so conveniently) at my side already) and was amazing. Will definitely do again, now I have all the spices.

  Awesome I made this for a party and added 100ml of brandy and 100ml of Grand Marnier and then split the syrup between two saucepans and added cider to one and red wine to the other. Went down a storm!!!

  This is a great idea, not just as a pressy but also handy to have so you can knock up a warm mulled drink in just five minutes, blinking brilliant. I'll be sending bottles to friends who are lumbered with the bulk of entertaining, hopefully this will be a welcome short cut and I'll get invited every year! Just one point, I strained it thru 2 layers of muslin and it was nowhere near the nice clear syrup pictured. I'm not bothered and its what I expected but it does annoy me that the pictures are more styled than realistic. Whats the point, I'd rather no pic at all.

  Really really good recipe and very easy for the recipient...however, 400ml bottles??? Where might one get them?!! They would be perfect as it's the right amount for one bottle of wine, but I've searched in vain...hmmm!

  I've tried all my local large supermarket chains but can't find whole allspice. Does anyone know where I can get them or what I can use instead?

  To Raquel, look online at Lakeland they sell different sized bottles. Also Wilkinson sell bottles for homebrewing.
