How to Make Mulled Wine Sorbet

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 750ml red wine, 1 orange (zest and juice), 1 lemon (zest and juice), 1 cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, 2 star anise, and 100g caster sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
  5. Pour the strained mulled wine mixture into a shallow container and freeze until partially solid, about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to break up any ice crystals.
  6. Transfer the partially frozen mixture to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth and creamy.
  7. Return the mixture to the container and freeze again until solid. This will typically take at least 2 hours, possibly longer depending on your freezer.
  8. Once solid, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften before scooping and serving.
