Merry Christmas, friends! We hope you’re celebrating the holiday with family, friends, and festive recipes! We’re sharing a wonderful, last-minute holiday cocktail with you today…Mulled Wine! It’s tart, sweet, smoky, and full of warming holiday flavors! Cheers! INGREDIENTS 1 (750 ml) bottle red wine (we suggest heavier red wines like Cabernets, Merlots, Burgundys, or a blend – make sure it's something you would like to drink!) 1/4 cup brandy or whiskey (optional) 2 medium oranges, cut into 1/8 inch slices 4 cloves 3 cinnamon sticks 3 star anise 1 ½ inch knob of ginger, thinly sliced (about 2 Tbsp sliced) 3 Tbsp maple syrup (plus more to taste) INSTRUCTIONS Add red wine, brandy/whiskey, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, sliced ginger, and maple syrup to a large saucepan. Bring to a low simmer on medium low heat. Once little bubbles start to form, turn the stove down to its lowest setting and cover. Take care to keep the wine below a boil to avoid cooking out the alcohol. Heat covered for 15-30 minutes – it will get spicier as it cooks. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Serve warm with a cinnamon stick or orange slice garnish. Mulled wine is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days. You can reheat the wine gently on the stove when ready to drink! FOLLOW US!
