MULLED WHITE WINE

This warming drink has the flavorful depth of the classic red version but is lighter in body. Choose a white that's not too acidic, such as a Viognier or an oaked Chardonnay (wines that are more astringent can develop a harsh edge when heated).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup water
1/2 cup honey, preferably orange-blossom
Zest of 2 lemons, cut into long strips
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
4 whole star anise
4 cinnamon sticks
12 whole cloves
2 bottles dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup orange Muscat, such as Essencia
1 Golden Delicious apple, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
1 Bartlett pear, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
2 lemons, preferably Meyer, thinly sliced crosswise
12 kumquats, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Bring water, honey, lemon zest and juice, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and cloves to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
  • To serve cold: Mix spice mixture, wines, and fruit in a large pitcher. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. Transfer to a large punch bowl, and serve with ice. To serve hot: Heat spice mixture and wines in a large pot over low heat until heated through. Add fruit, and divide among mugs.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful mulled white wine, start with a high-quality white wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor. Whole spices, such as cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise, will infuse the wine with more flavor than ground spices.
  • Simmer the wine gently over low heat. Bringing the wine to a boil will evaporate the alcohol and ruin the flavor.
  • Serve the mulled white wine warm. It can be served in mugs or glasses.
  • Garnish the mulled white wine with a slice of orange or lemon, a cinnamon stick, or a star anise pod.

Conclusion:

Mulled white wine is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for enjoying during the holidays. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a warm and inviting drink that will be sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
