Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- 1 (750 ml) bottle of dry red wine
- 1/4 cup brandy (or orange liqueur)
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds (if you would like a less-bitter drink, peel the oranges)
- 8 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 star anise
- 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste (or your desired sweetener)
- optional garnishes: citrus slices (orange, lemon and/or lime), extra cinnamon sticks, extra star anise
Method
Mix ingredients. Tip in wine, brandy, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and 2 tablespoons sweetener to a large saucepan. Whisk briefly to combine.
Let it bubble gently. Warm gently. Leave the mulled wine on medium-a hot burner until it's steaming but not bubbling. Lower heat to low, cover, and let it steep for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
Strain. Using a fine mesh strainer, remove and discard the orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Give the mulled wine a taste, and mix in extra sweetener if needed.
Plate Plate warm in heatproof mugs, topped with your favorite garnishes.
