Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. one pint of red

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Put into the saucepan one pint of red or white wine, the first preferred.
  2. Add two heaping tablespoons of sugar, a piece of rind of lemon or orange, and a small stick of cinnamon.
  3. Put it onto the fire and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. When the wine boils, strain it through some cheese-cloth and pour it into glasses, and serve hot.
