- Bring red wine, brandy, sugar, cloves, lemon zest, cinnamon sticks, and star anise to a simmer in a saucepan, covered, over high heat.
- Remove from heat; steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Ladle into 4 mugs; garnish with fresh lemon-zest strips.
Tips:
- Use a good quality red wine. A dry, fruity red wine will work best. Some good options include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir.
- Add your own spices. The recipe provided is a good starting point, but you can adjust the spices to your liking. Some popular additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- Simmer slowly. Mulled wine should be simmered slowly over low heat. This will help to extract the flavors from the spices and prevent the wine from becoming too hot.
- Serve warm. Mulled wine is best served warm. You can either drink it immediately or store it in a thermos to keep it warm for later.
Conclusion:
Mulled wine is a delicious and festive holiday drink. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you're hosting a party or just want to enjoy a warm drink by the fire, mulled wine is a perfect choice.
