Hello again, friends! Itβs Winter time where I am and itβs a wonderful time to share my spiced wine/mulled wine recipe that I personally love to use. Letβs get into it:
Ingredients:
The Wine:
β’ 2 bottles of red wine, either a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot (I adore the Apothic brand wines. I use Apothic Red a lot.)
The Spices:
β’ Cinnamon
β’ Clove
β’ Star Anise
β’ Cardamom
The Fruit:
β’ Grapefruit
β’ Lemon
β’ Orange
The Additional:
β’ Honey
**I will say this now that Iβve used both fresh and dried fruit, and think both ways comes out lovely. Use whatever you have on hand and in whatever amounts you prefer.**
Directions:
β’ Pour the bottles of wine into a pot large enough to hold them both and turn the heat of the stove on low.
β’ As it begins to warm (I dip my finger in to test, no judgement please), begin adding the spices in amounts that you like.
- For 2 bottles of wine, I use anywhere from 3-4 cinnamon sticks, a small handful of cloves, 3-5 star anise and a small handful of cardamom.
β’ When the mixture begins to come to a boil/simmer, add in the fruit. I prefer sliced circles but wedges certainly work as well!
β’ Cover and leave for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
β’ Ladle into a cup and enjoy, sweetened with honey to taste!
**Note:
β’ Premade/bought mulling spice blends work perfectly well for this as well.
