Mulled Wine (Italian Vin Brulé)
Report
This flavorful mulled wine is so simple to make. Comforting, warm, citrusy and perfectly spiced, it's made for a holiday crowd but can easily be scaled down if needed.

Ingredients
- 2 dry red wine like Chianti, Italian
- 3 orange divided
- 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup brandy optional
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cinnamon whole sticks
- 4 star anise whole
- 6 clove whole
- orange sliced wheels, for garnish
Instructions
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove only the outer skin of 2 oranges and the lemon. You want only the colored part for this recipe, leave as much of the bitter white pith behind as possible. Save the fruit for another time.
- Combine the wine, liqueur (if using), peels, honey, and spices in a large dutch oven.
- Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until small bubbles form around the edges.
- Reduce the heat to low and keep it at a bare simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and ladle into heatproof glasses or mugs. Slice the remaining orange into wheels or wedges to garnish glasses and serve.
Notes
- Honey adds rich backnotes that I prefer in this recipe over sugar, but if sugar is all you have it will work just fine.
- When making mulled wine you really just need the oils from the outer part of the citrus peel or rind to help flavor the drink. Use a vegetable peeler to get just the colored part of the lemon and orange peels
- Get festive and garnish each glass with a wedge of orange and a cinnamon stick.
