# Mulled Wine
|
||
|
||
## Ingredients
|
||
|
||
* **1 750ml bottle** dry red or white wine
|
||
* **1⁄4 cup** brandy, orange liqueur, or tawny port
|
||
* **1** orange, peeled and sliced into rounds
|
||
* **8** whole cloves
|
||
* **2** cinnamon sticks
|
||
* **2** star anise
|
||
* **2 tbsp.** honey or maple syrup, plus more to taste
|
||
|
||
## Instructions
|
||
|
||
1. Add **wine**, **brandy**, **orange slices**, and **spices**.
|
||
and 2 tbsp. **honey** to a large saucepan.
|
||
Stir briefly to combine.
|
||
|
||
2. Cook on medium-high heat until barely simmering, stopping before the wine begins to bubble.
|
||
Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
|
||
|
||
3. Using a fine mesh strainer, remove and discard the orange slices and spices.
|
||
Add more **honey** to taste.
|
||
|
||
4. Serve warm in mugs. Garnish with extra orange slices and spices.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
* Avoid using expensive wines for this recipe.
|
||
Their subtleties will be overwhelmed by the aromatics.
|
||
A mid-range bottle (or box) will do.
|
||
Look for Zinfandel, Merlot, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Syrah.

## Chef's Notes
|
||
|
||
There's no classier way to drink
|
||
as far as I'm concerned.
|
||
|
||
Reading on the couch
|
||
while sipping from a steaming mug of this stuff
|
||
makes me nostalgic for experiences I've never had.
