Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle is being mocked for her cooking blunder after sharing a recipe for ‘mulled water’.
In the video clip she shared on Instagram, the former actress explained how she uses the $16 Spiced Cider Mulling Spice Kit from her lifestyle brand, As Ever, to create a ‘really cosy warm beverage that everyone can enjoy’.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, explained how she brings a large pot of water to the boil, takes it off the heat and adds her spice kit to steep. After ladling the brew into glasses, she drops in cinnamon sticks, lemon and a teaspoon of her brand’s $28 honey to ’embolden the flavours’.
Meghan went on to explain that home cooks could ‘add a spirit of choice to make it a little bit more grown up,’ but said that the drink is ‘the most soothing’ without the addition of alcohol, ‘especially in the cold weather’.
Baffled fans have since reacted to her special ‘holiday drink’ recipe, and accused the her of effectively making a pot of ‘mulled water’, with one likening it to ‘air freshener in mugs’.
One said: ‘If I’m not mistaken, Meghan Markle just made mulled water? Wouldn’t you add the spices to apple cider? Or wine? Not WATER?’
‘Looks like she was making a spicy tea because she has no idea of what she is really doing. Madame Fake-It-Till-You-Make-It-Montecito.’ another critic said.
‘She creates a simmer pot and then serves it to guests as a beverage. Mulling spices are meant to augment a hot beverage like cider, wine, coffee, or tea. But then again, what should we expect from the person labelling tisanes as tea.’
‘Keep in mind this is the same woman who was teaching us how to can food while holding the canning tongs upside down,’ another commented.
