Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Dry red wine
- 1 Fresh orange
- 120 ml Orange juice
- 2 Cinnamon sticks
- 5 Cloves
- 2 Star anise
- 3 Cardamom pods
- 75 grams Sugar
- 1 Vanilla pod (split lengthwise)
- 60 ml Dark rum (optional)
- 4 Fresh orange slices (for garnish)
- 4 Cinnamon sticks (for garnish)
Instructions
Pour the red wine into a large saucepan or pot. Set it over low heat, ensuring the wine does not boil, as this would compromise the flavor.
Wash the orange thoroughly and slice it into thin rounds. Add the orange slices and orange juice to the pot with the wine.
Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and cardamom pods to the pot.
Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife. Add both the seeds and the pod itself to the mixture.
Stir in the sugar, making sure it dissolves completely into the wine.
Allow the mixture to warm gently over low heat for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to infuse the wine with the spices and citrus flavors. Be careful not to let the wine come to a boil.
Optional: For an extra kick, stir in the rum just before serving.
Ladle the mulled wine into heatproof glasses or mugs. Garnish each serving with a fresh orange slice and a cinnamon stick.
Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth and rich, spiced aroma.
