How to Make Mulled Wine?

如何制作圣诞甜酒?

Mulled wine has been enjoyed for thousands of years; now it's a holiday tradition. It's simply wine that's been slightly sweetened and spiced, but there are a few tricks to making it well.

圣诞甜酒已经有上千年的历史,早已演变成这个节日的传统啦!说来简单,它其实就是用红酒配以糖和香料,接下来我们就为大家解密这种圣诞必备饮料的DIY过程。

Things You'll Need: * 2/3 c. sugar * 1750ml bottle wine * 1/2 c. brandy * 6 to 8 cloves * 1 cinnamon stick * orange peel from 1/2 orange

准备材料: * 2/3杯糖 * 1750毫升红葡萄酒 * 1/2杯白兰地 * 6到8片丁香 * 一支肉桂 * 1/2个橙子皮

 Step 1: Pour the wine into a saucepan and place over low heat.

第一步:将红酒倒入小汤锅,用低温加热。

Step 2:Cut the zest off half an orange with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler so that only the orange part is removed. If some of the bitter white pith is still attached to the zest, cut it off and discard it.

第二步:从橙子上剥下橙皮,注意只要橘色的橙皮,不要带苦味的白色部分。

Step 3:Lightly pound the pieces of zest with the back of a knife or a mallet to release the aromatic oils. Add the zest to the wine. Squeeze some juice in, too.

第三步:用刀背慢慢刮掉橙皮上的天然油脂,放入红酒,同时也加入一点橙汁。

Step 4:Add the remaining ingredients.

第四步:把其他材料也一并加入锅内。

Step 5:Stir occasionally. Do not let the wine come to a boil.

第五步:不时搅动。不要让红酒煮沸。

Step 6:When the wine begins to steam and is very hot, it is ready to serve.

第六步:当红酒开始有蒸汽散发就证明差不多好了。

Step 7:Shut off the heat and ladle the wine out into mugs or glasses, leaving the seasonings behind.

第七步:关火,滤掉香料,就可以喝啦!

怎么样?这种饮料是不是很简单呢?香料和糖去掉了红酒本身的涩味,而适当加热也让葡萄酒中的酒精得以蒸发,就连不喝酒的人也非常适合呢!这个圣诞,赶快亲自动手,做给家人和朋友们品尝吧!
