Mulled Port Drink Recipe: A Warm and Spicy Winter Delight

When the temperatures drop and winter sets in, there's nothing quite like a warm and comforting drink to chase away the chill. One such beverage that is perfect for cozying up by the fire on a cold evening is mulled port. This delicious concoction combines the rich flavors of port wine with aromatic spices to create a festive treat that will warm you from the inside out.

The Origins of Mulled Port

Mulled wine has been enjoyed for centuries as a way to make use of leftover or less-than-perfect wine by adding spices and sweeteners to enhance its flavor. The tradition of mulling wine likely originated in ancient Rome, where it was believed that heating wine with spices would help ward off illness during the colder months.

Port, a fortified wine hailing from Portugal, lends itself beautifully to mulling thanks to its deep, fruity flavors and natural sweetness. By infusing it with warming spices like cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel, you can create a luxurious drink that is perfect for sipping on long winter nights.

How to Make Mulled Port

To make your own batch of mulled port at home, start by gathering your ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of ruby or tawny port
  • 1/4 cup honey or sugar (adjust according to taste)
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 6 whole cloves
  • Zest of one orange
  • Juice of half an orange
  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
    Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the port, honey or sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange zest, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined.
  • Squeeze in the juice from half an orange before adding both halves into the pot. This will add extra citrusy flavor while also releasing essential oils from the skin.
  • Gently simmer the mixture for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally so that all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Taste test along to adjust sweetness if needed. Serve hot in mugs garnished with additional slices of fresh oranges or cinnamon sticks. Enjoy this delightful mulled port drink as you relax by the fire on those chilly winter evenings!
