Equipment
- Large Pot
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 5 cups Red wine
- 2 pieces Star anise whole
- 3 pieces Cloves whole
- ⅓ cups Sugar
- 2 pieces Cinnamon sticks whole
- 1 pinch Nutmeg grated
- ⅓ cups Rum optional
- 4 slices Orange
Instructions
- Heat the red wine adding cloves, star anise, sugar, and cinnamon sticks in a large pot. Make sure it does not boil. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Now add the orange slices.
- Let it steep for about 10 minutes on very low heat to allow the holiday flavors to develop beautifully.
- Rinse the glasses with hot water before serving. Strain the finished mulled wine into the glasses. If desired, add a splash of rum afterward.
Notes
Do not bring the wine to a boil; it should only be heated. Otherwise, the alcohol will evaporate too much. Add rum, amaretto, or other spirits only at the end into the mugs.
