The new poems of the frozen pen are lazy to write, and the cold furnace and wine are warm. In "On the Heroes of Cooking Wine", the ancients believed that wine could inspire inspiration, eliminate fatigue, and dispel cold, so they would celebrate with wine on various occasions, and a special way of drinking had already appeared at that time - boiling wine. Last weekend, Auntie Lu, who lives in Magnolia Garden, cooked a pot of mulled wine for community workers who had been busy all year long.
A jug of delicious and healthy mulled wine comes from spices, wine, fruit and a precise control of the heat. Cinnamon, cloves, Jiangxi navel oranges, apples and honey, especially cinnamon, you need to choose cinnamon strips of Sri Lankan varieties, if you buy cinnamon by mistake, you may get a bowl of broth.
Aunt Lu said: "The fruit should be cut into slices, and the cloves need to be inserted into the skin of the fruit to prevent the cloves from being drunk." ”
After cutting the fruit, put it neatly in the electric cooker, squeeze in the fresh orange juice, add cinnamon sticks, and heat it to about 80 degrees to bring out the aroma of the fruit itself.
Then pour in the red wine, the fruit can be submerged, and then add an appropriate amount of honey, honey instead of regular white sugar, and the final product will have a special sweet taste of honey.
Hold at about 80 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring and ready to serve. At this time, the room was already filled with the rich smell of red wine and spices.
The rich aroma had already made everyone want to taste it, Aunt Lu re-sliced the apples and oranges into the glass, added a cinnamon stick, and poured mulled wine.
Not only does a glass of mulled wine warm in winter, red wine is rich in antioxidants that help protect cardiovascular health, and cinnamon and cloves are also anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. In addition, lemons and oranges in mulled wine contain vitamin C, which is helpful in fighting colds and boosting immunity. In the cold season, sipping a glass of mulled wine is not only a pleasure, but also brings warmth to the body.
It is not only a taste pleasure, but also relaxes the stressful work life, and also shortens the distance between neighbors.
