Preparation
Step 1
Pour your red wine into a medium saucepan.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients to the wine. I like to wrap the cloves in cheesecloth, so that I can easily remove them when the wine is ready. If you don’t have cheesecloth, relax. You can always strain your mulled wine before serving.
Step 3
Bring the wine to a simmer and allow is to simmer gently for 30 minutes. If you have longer, by all means keep it simmering away!
Step 4
Ladle your warm mulled wine into glasses (straining if necessary) and garnish each with a little orange zest, a cinnamon stick and a star anise if you’re feeling fancy. Drink and be merry!
Step 5
Save recipe for the next time?
