Mulled Wine Recipe
Found on Reddit.
The quality of the wine doesn’t matter for mulled wine, so just get something cheap. That way if it is ruined at least you only spent a few bucks. Anyway, I spent a lot of time tweaking this one recipe. Let’s see if I can remember it…
1 bottle dry red wine
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
~10 whole cloves
3 whole cinnamon sticks
1/2 tsp allspice
1 lemon, cut in 4 sections
1 small orange, cut in 4 sections
Put all ingredients in a pot, simmer for 20-25 minutes. Once it starts simmering you can taste it to see if it needs more sweetening. DO NOT let it boil, that will remove the alcohol (although some will boil off no matter what). You can also add some brandy (around a 1/4 cup) if you’d like it stronger. I used to put cardamon seeds and whole nutmeg in the mix sometimes, but buying all those spices can get expensive.
