Recipe // Mulled Wine

Ingredients:

→ 1 bottle of Merlot or Zinfandel red wine

→ ¼ cup brandy
→ 2 cinnamon sticks
→ 3 star anise
→ 4 whole cloves
→ 2 tbsp maple syrup

Directions:

→ Simply add all the ingredients to a pot and warm on medium heat for 5 minutes. Once you see little bubbles bring the mulled wine down to low heat for another 10 minutes covered.
