Ingredients
-
1 (1 1/2 litre) bottle dry red wine
-
2 oranges, sliced in half then into half-rounds
-
¼ cup sugar
-
¼ cup honey
-
1 tablespoon whole cloves
-
4 cinnamon sticks, plus more for garnish
-
5 star anise, plus more for garnish
-
10 cardamom pods
-
½–1 cup brandy
Directions
- Pour the wine into a large stockpot over low/medium-low heat and add in the orange slices, sugar, honey, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and cardamom pods.
- Heat until just under a simmer, stirring occasionally, and hold at that temperature for at least 15 minutes to dissolve the sugar and infuse the wine with all of those lovely flavours.
- When about to serve, pour about a shot of brandy into each mug and top with mulled wine. For garnish, throw in an extra cinnamon stick and some of those mulled orange slices.
