Mulled Wine
A warm, spiced wine with origins in medieval Europe, inspired by ancient spiced beverages.
Ingredients:
1 bottle red wine
1 orange, sliced into rounds
8 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
2-4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup brandy or orange liqueur
Instructions:
Combine the wine, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and sweetener in a large pot.
Heat over medium heat until the wine is steaming, but not boiling.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
Strain the wine to remove the spices and orange slices, then stir in the brandy or orange liqueur if using.
Serve warm in mugs, garnished with a fresh orange slice or cinnamon stick if desired.
