Mulled Wine

I love this stuff. I seem to be the only one so don't have it often enough. I have some great memories of drinking it in a forest in Switzerland with our neighbours of our entire street as we went into the forest one frosty Christmas evening to light up a fir tree and sing carols. What a lovely community custom.
4 cups dry red wine
250 mls brandy
1 cup water
1 cup castor sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
1/2 lemon, sliced

Place water, sugar, cinnamon and cloves in a large saucepan.
Stir over a medium heat and bring to boil until sugar is dissolved.
Set aside for 5 minutes.Take out cinnamon sticks and cloves.
Add wine, brandy and lemon.
Stir over medium heat till mixture is hot, do not boil.
Serve HOT!!
