How to make Mulled Wine

mulled wine

• You will need:

• 1 (750 ml) bottle of red wine

• 1 orange, sliced into thin circles

• 1/4 cup brandy (optional)

• 1/4 cup honey or sugar

• 8 whole cloves

• 2 cinnamon sticks

• 2 star anise

• Garnishes: citrus slices (orange and/or lemon), extra cinnamon sticks, extra star anise

• Instructions:

• Put all ingredients in a non-aluminum saucepan, and bring the mixture to a simmer (over medium-high heat).

• Be careful not to boil! Or else you could accidentally boil out the alcohol.

• Once the mixture is at a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low (remember, to prevent boiling), and let sit over heat for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.

• Some mulled wines will simmer over heat for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to really bloom, but that is at your discretion. You technically only need 15-20 minutes.

• Once the mixture is finished on the stove, strain it.

• Add whatever garnishes you choose, and now it\'s ready to be served!
