Mulled Wine Recipe: Crafting the Perfect Christmas Elixir
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle red wine (750 ml)
- 1/4 cup brandy (optional)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 8-10 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1/3 cup honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Orange peel or cinnamon sticks for garnish
Cooking Steps:
Step 1: Begin the Infusion In a large saucepan, pour the red wine and add brandy if desired. Warm the mixture over low to medium heat without boiling.
Step 2: Add Aromatics Insert whole cloves into orange slices and add them to the wine. Include cinnamon sticks, ground nutmeg, and honey (or sugar) for sweetness.
Step 3: Heat Gently Allow the wine to gently heat and infuse with the spices. Be cautious not to bring it to a boil; a gentle simmer is ideal.

Step 5: Strain and Serve Strain the Mulled Wine to remove spices and orange slices. Pour the warm, spiced elixir into mugs or glasses.
