Health and fertility benefits of Mulled Wine
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060). Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.
Ingredients
Six 750-milliter bottles medium-bodied red wine
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground anise seed
Cinnamon sticks, for serving
Instructions
Preheat loggerheads vertically in the coals of a hot fire until the tips are cherry red, about 30 minutes. Combine all ingredients except the cinnamon sticks in a very large enameled metal pitcher (you can also use a smaller metal pitcher and heat the wine in batches, but do not use glass or plastic as the heat could cause them to crack or melt). Submerge a loggerhead in the wine mixture until hot, about 30 seconds or less. Pour into wine glasses and garnish each with a cinnamon stick.
