Warm Winter Mulled Wine
Warm Winter Mulled Wine is easy to make, and the smell of the drink simmering is almost a delicious as the mulled wine itself!
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 1309kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups pomegranate juice
- 2 oranges, peel + juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 star anise
- 1 1-inch piece of ginger, sliced
- 1 750 ml Cabernet 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.
