Instructions
- Add mulling spices and sweetener or sugar-free maple syrup to a nonreactive saucepan, plus just enough of the wine in the pan to cover the sweetener and/or syrup.
- Take it to medium heat and mix until the sweeteners are fully dissolved.
- Let it come to a rolling boil and keep it boiling for 6-7 minutes. The mixture will reduce a little, and look very shiny and syrupy.
- Add all of the remaining wine, and the extra liquor if desired. When it's just starting simmering (steam rising and tiny bubbles at the edges) bring the heat down to very low.
- Let it very gently simmer for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot, in prewarmed mugs. Add garnishes as desired.
Notes
- The spices and sweetener are suggestions (that's how we make it at home). Please adapt the quantities to your own tastes. If you dislike cloves, for example, no need to add them to the recipe!
- You can scale the recipe for more servings: just multiply all ingredients (x2, x3, etc)
- For storage and reheating directions, see post.
