Ingredients
- 750 ml (26 oz/ 1 bottle) red wine (ex. cabernet, merlot, feteasca neagra, semi-dry, semi-sweet type of wine-preferably)
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 aniseeds
- 1 orange
Directions
- Put the wine to simmer on low heat.
- Add 3 tbsp sugar and blend so the sugar dissolves.
- Add 2 cinnamon sticks and 4 aniseeds and let the wine simmer on very low heat with the spices for a few minutes.
- Remove the wine from the heat and add slices of oranges.
- Add a lid over the pot of wine and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- The resting pause is necessary to increase the taste of the cinnamon mulled wine and allow the flavors to combine.
- Avoid adding oranges or lemons when simmering the wine with spices. It will add a bitter flavor to your beverage.
