Recipe // Mulled Wine

Ingredients

1 bottle of Merlot or Zinfandel red wine
2 small oranges sliced
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. Make sure you don’t bring it up to high heat or a boil or else you may risk cooking out the alcohol.

Ladle some into a wine glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick or sliced oranges… or both!
