Ingredients

  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine
  • 1 large orange
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 2 sticks cinnamon
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 5 cloves
  • 1/2 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons brandy

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Squeeze out the juice from 1/2 orange and cut the other half into slices. Slice the lemon. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds, reserve the remaining vanilla pod.
  2. Add orange juice, orange, and lemon slices, white wine, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, cloves, vanilla beans and pod, sugar, and honey to a medium pot (all the ingredients except brandy).
  3. Cover the pot and heat the wine over the lowest heat, for about 20-30 minutes, until very hot but not simmering or boiling (you can check the temperature with a thermometer, it should not exceed 167°F / 75°C).
  4. Take the pot off the heat and add brandy (if using).
  5. Ladle your mulled wine into heatproof glasses and serve warm.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can also warm up the wine really quickly (but still, shouldn't get too hot or the alcohol will evaporate!) and then leave it for 1-2 hours or even overnight (in the fridge) for the flavors to meld.
  • Brandy is added to make the drink a little stronger, since a small amount of alcohol will evaporate during heating the wine, and the drink is diluted with the other ingredients. You can omit it. I don't like to add too much because the flavor of brandy can overpower aromatic mulled wine.
  • Storage: Strain the wine and keep it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. It tastes really good reheated. Don´t leave the spices for too long in the wine (not longer than overnight) or the wine may come out too spiced.
  • Calories = 1 serving (1/4 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
