Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle of red wine (750ml Merlot)
  • 1 orange sliced
  • ½ lemon sliced
  • 4 star anise
  • 4 cardamom
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, combine the red wine, sliced orange and lemon, star anise, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, and sugar. Give it a stir.
  • Heat the mixture over medium heat. Do not let it boil, as it will evaporate the alcohol and alter the flavour.
  • Once it’s warm, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes. This allows the flavours to meld together.
  • Do a taste test - add more sugar or spices if desired.
  • Strain the mulled wine through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids. Serve warm in mugs or glasses. Garnish with extra orange and lemon slices, or spices, if desired.
