THE OXFORD BISHOP: 19TH CENTURY SPICED MULLED PORT WINE



The Oxford Bishop: 19th Century Spiced Mulled Port Wine image

A lovely Traditional old English recipe by Eliza Acton, a 19th Century Victorian cookery writer of great repute. This unique beverage is also mentioned in "The Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, although in the book it was called Smoking Bishop!! This is a fruity & spiced warm mulled Port Wine drink which brings a glow to your face & warmth to your aching joints, believe me! Just the festive beverage to have after returning from Christmas Midnight Mass or whilst listening to Carols from King's College on Christmas Eve. Also wonderful as a welcome drink for a party or special event. It is easily topped up if extra guests arrive, and I have used wine in the past when the port was finished!

Tips:

  • Choose the right port: Not all ports are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a ruby port, which is a rich, full-bodied port with a deep red color.
  • Simmer the spices: Simmering the spices in the port for a few minutes will help to extract their flavor. Be sure to use a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
  • Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will add a bright, festive flavor to your punch. Be sure to use a variety of fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and cranberries.
  • Chill the punch before serving: Chilling the punch before serving will help to bring out the flavors of the spices and fruit. You can also add a few ice cubes to the punch to keep it cold.
  • Garnish with a cinnamon stick: A cinnamon stick is a classic garnish for a spiced port punch. It adds a festive touch and helps to enhance the flavor of the punch.

Conclusion:

Spiced port punch is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any holiday party. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a festive drink to serve at your next party, give spiced port punch a try. Your guests will love it!
