Mulled Wine
|
Mulled Wine November, 2005 Serves 6–8 / Like its virgin cousin, spiced apple cider, mulled wine incorporates the key holiday spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves—into a deliciously warm and decadent drink. This recipe provides a basic mulled-wine blend, but if you’re feeling adventurous, add some freshly grated ginger, ginger juice, or extra brandy. 1 bottle (750 ml) red wine, such as Merlot or Pinot Noir 1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel 3 cinnamon sticks 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 ounce brandy (or more to taste) 1/3 cup honey, plus more to taste 1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not boil. Adjust sweetness to taste. Serve warm.
