Ingredients
3cups pomegranate juice
2oranges, peel + juice
2 tablespoonshoney
2 cinnamon sticks
5whole cloves
2star anise
11-inch piece of ginger, sliced
1750 mlCabernet Sauvignon
For serving
Pomegranate arils
Orange slices
Cinnamon sticks
Instructions
Add the pomegranate juice, orange juice, honey, spices and ginger to a stockpot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook 8-10 minutes until honey has dissolved and spices are releasing their flavors and scent.
Reduce heat to low and add orange peel and wine, stir and cover, and allow to cook for at least 15 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to rise above a simmer- you don't want to burn off the alcohol.
Ladle the mulled wine into mugs and serve with fresh orange slices, cinnamon sticks and a few pomegranate arils.
Notes
On the slim-to-none chance that you happen to have any leftover, let it cool completely and then store in the fridge. Rewarm (remember: slow and low, folks) before serving.
