Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 Cinnamon sticks
- 2 Star anise
- 6 Cloves
- 10 g Fresh ginger
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 60 ml Brandy (optional)
- 1 Vanilla pod (optional)
Instructions
Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Peel and slice the fresh ginger into thin slices.
In a large saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup.
Add the cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, ginger slices, and vanilla pod (if using) into the saucepan. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the spices.
Pour the red wine into the saucepan and gently stir to combine. Add the orange and lemon slices to the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and warm the wine mixture for 10-15 minutes, making sure not to let it boil to preserve the alcohol content and flavor.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar, one teaspoon at a time.
If using brandy, stir it in just before serving for an extra kick.
Strain the mulled wine to remove spices and fruit slices, then pour into heatproof mugs or glasses.
Garnish with an additional orange slice or cinnamon stick if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
