Ingredients

  • 1 bottle (750ml Size) Red Wine (I Recommend A Merlot Or A Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 1/4 cups Brandy (optional)
  • 1 whole Orange, Juiced And Zested
  • 3 sticks Cinnamon
  • 2 whole Star Anise
  • 8 whole Cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoons Ground All-spice
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey

Method

  • Pour red wine into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients to the wine. I like to wrap the cloves in cheesecloth, so that I can easily remove them when the wine is ready. If you don't have cheesecloth, relax. You can always strain your mulled wine before serving.
  • Bring the wine to a simmer and allow is to simmer gently for 30 minutes. If you have more time, by all means keep it simmering away!
  • Ladle warm mulled wine into glasses (straining if necessary) and garnish each with a little orange zest, a cinnamon stick and a star anise if you're feeling fancy. Drink and be merry!
