Hot Claret With Lemon Recipes

HOT WATER WITH LEMON

Grannie used to make it for me when I was sick and if the reader is feeling daring they could add a cinnamon stick to the hot beverage. This is great for when you're feeling sick.

Steps:

Take the cup of hot water and place it in a heat-proof mug.
Squeeze the lemon juice into the water and stir thoroughly.
Drink when temperature is cool enough to not burn your tongue.
If you decide to add the cinnamon stick, use it to stir the hot water and then remove it before you drink the lemon water. Otherwise, you could poke out an eye!

Ingredients

1 cup water, just off the boil
1/2 lemon (freshly squeezed)
1 cinnamon stick (optional)

HOT MULLED WINE

This recipe of my grandmother's is always a hit at a get-together, especially on those cold, blustery days. I usually keep it warm in a slow cooker. You can use claret or Burgundy.

Steps:

Place a saucepan containing several inches of water over medium heat and bring water to a simmer.
Place eggs into a metal mixing bowl and add sugar and lemon juice. Place bowl over pan containing simmering water and whisk continuously until mixture foams and becomes thick, hot, and smooth, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat; whisk in lemon zest and unsalted butter. Continue whisking constantly until butter melts and incorporates into the lemon curd. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, pushing the plastic wrap onto the surface of the lemon curd. Refrigerate until chilled and lemon curd has set up, at least 1 hour. Stir before serving.

GREAT GRANDMA'S HOT HONEY LEMON DRINK

Another blast from my past that my kids still enjoy! My German Grandma used to make this for us if we had a cold or just needed to warm up on a cold night. I now make it for my kids and they enjoy it a lot. Please note that children under 1 year are not supposed to have honey. Enjoy!
