1. Place all ingredients except the wine into a saucepan on medium heat. (I included slices of the lemon and orange)
2. Add half the bottle of wine first until the sugar and other ingredients are fully covered.
3. Stir around and add the rest of the wine. Add a bit of vanilla essence if you are feeling adventurous! I did. It was awesome.
4. Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, making sure you keep an eye on it and don't let it boil.
5. Enjoy with friends in front of the fire / heater while watching Netflix. Don't be fooled by the solo mug, it was so good I almost forgot to take pictures.
Full credit to Adeline & Lumiere where I got most of my measurements from but I omitted the cinnamon stick and star anise. In terms of what wine to get, I went for the cheapest Merlot on offer from the supermarket which was Whitecliff.
