Ingredients
Show ingredients
- red dry wine – 750 ml. (1 bottle);
- sugar – 2 tbsp;
- honey – 1 tsp each (in the glass);
- orange (large) – 1 pc;
- sweet apple (medium) – 1 pc;
- ginger – a little (optional);
- cardamom – 10 pods;
- cloves (buds) – 8-10 pcs;
- cinnamon sticks – 2-3 pcs;
- star anise – 2 stars;
- nutmeg (grated) – ⅓ tsp;
- bay leaf – 1 pc.
Preparation
- Prepare all the ingredients from the list for making mulled wine.
- Prepare the spices. Cut the ginger into slices, break the cinnamon sticks, grate the nutmeg, and break the bay leaf.
- If desired, put the spices into a special bag, leaving a little for decoration.
- Peel the orange.
- Squeeze the juice from the oranges.
- Cut the apple according to your preference.
- In a thick-bottomed pot, pour in the orange juice, add the zest, prepared apple, spices, and sugar. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Then remove the pot and pour in all the wine. Now set the stove to minimum heat. We only need to warm the wine; do not let the mulled wine boil. Heat the pot until steam appears. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
- When steam appears above the pot, our mulled wine made from red dry wine is ready.
- Pour the mulled wine into glasses, decorate to your taste, and serve at the table.
The prepared mulled wine at home can be poured into a thermos and taken with you on a winter walk with friends.
