Soul-Comforting Mulled Wine
Julia Canella | Recipes | 13 June 2024
Spicy, sweet and delightfully cosy – wrap your hands around this marvellous winter warmer.
It's the season for cosying up on the couch with your favourite throw and a warm sip of happiness.
Mulled Wine | Serves 2-4
Ingredients
- 750ml dry red wine
- 1 orange, peeled and sliced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, sliced
- 8 whole cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise, plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 orange, sliced for garnish
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring together all ingredients.
To ensure your wine's alcohol content retains, bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over low-medium heat.
As soon as it simmers, reduce the heat to low.
Cover your saucepan, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours.
Discard all ingredients, and either strain your mulled wine into a jug for serving, or keep it in your saucepan to ladle directly into your favourite heatproof mugs.
Serve warm, and top with garnishes of orange slices and star anise.
Tip: if you're feeling a little extra, add ¼ cup of your favourite liqueur to the mix, such as Cointreau.
