Mulled Wine
The winter is almost here and that’s why I would like to share a hot recipe that I believe most of us enjoy drinking, especially in cold days. This recipe is a simple and classic one, however, if you prefer, you can add different spices (vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, etc.) and even fruits (apple, tangerine, etc.). Be careful not to boil the wine for a long time since it burns off the alcohol and do not forget to serve it in a heatproof mug.
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red Wine
- 100 ml Orange Juice
- 1 pcs Orange Wheels
- 80 ml Honey
- 2 pcs Cinnamon Sticks
- 4 pcs Whole Cloves
- 2 pcs Star Anise
Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except wine, into your pot. Cover the mix with a little bit of red wine and let it simmer until the honey is totally dissolved and then bring to boil. Turn the heat down to low and add the rest of the wine. Keep it for around five minutes. Serve it into heatproof glasses. Add in 20-30 ml of brandy and give it a quick stir before drinking. Garnish with an orange wheel/peel, a cinnamon stick and a star anise.Cheers!🍷
