classic Mulled Wine

Take time for yourself before holiday madness begins! Make a simple mulled wine. Cheers my dears!

I have always associated mulled wine with holidays.

Mulled wine is unbelievably easy to make. So let`s cozy up, turn some soft music on, build a fire, light up some candles and embrace the holiday season!

1. Choose your red wine- Merlot, Garnacha, Zinfandel, or Red Blend
2. Heat a little bit of water
3. Add spices- whole cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves. Whole spices, rather than ground, are absolutely key to mulled wine.
4. Add a few spoons of sugar or honey. Alcohol becomes harsher when heated, so we`ll balance out the flavors this way.
5. Let it shimmer on low heat for a minute or two.
6. Add your red wine and slowly warm up the wine. DO NOT BOIL!
7. Serve your hot mulled wine in mugs.
