Ingredients

  • 750 ml bottle red wine
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 navel orange sliced
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise
  • 5 whole cloves
  • 1 1- inch piece fresh ginger peeled
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Warm the wine. Heat wine in a large saucepan, over medium heat. When wine is warmed, stir in the sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved into the wine.
  • Steep the spices. Drop in the mulling spices (cinnamon, anise, cloves, ginger and citrus) and reduce the heat to low. Simmer to allow spices to infuse into the wine, I would recommend steeping for at least 30 minutes.
  • Garnish and serve. Ladle the mulled wine into glass mugs and serve each with a orange twist.

Notes

Wine can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container. Reheat before serving.
