Bahan-bahan

4 porsi

1 (750 ml) bottle of dry red wine
1/4 cup brandy (or orange liqueur)
1 orange, sliced into rounds (if you would like a less-bitter drink, peel the oranges)
8 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste (or your desired sweetener)
optional garnishes: citrus slices (orange, lemon and/or lime), extra cinnamon sticks, extra star anise

Langkah-langkah

Add wine, brandy, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and 2 tablespoons sweetener to a large saucepan. Stir briefly to combine.
Cook the mulled wine on medium-high heat until it just barely reaches a simmer. (Avoid letting it bubble — you don’t want to boil off the alcohol.) Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the wine simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
Using a fine mesh strainer, remove and discard the orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Give the mulled wine a taste, and stir in extra sweetener if needed.
Serve warm in heatproof mugs, topped with your favorite garnishes.
