Mulled Wine | 178 Calories

Ingredients:

1 (750 ml) bottle of dry red wine
1/4 cup brandy
1 orange, sliced into rounds

2-star anise
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste
optional garnishes: citrus slices, extra cinnamon sticks, extra star anise

Mix the ingredients together. Wine, brandy, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and 2 tablespoons of sugar should be combined in a large saucepan. Stir until well-combined. Over medium-high heat, the mulled wine should be brought to a gentle simmer. You don’t want the alcohol to boil off, so don’t let it bubble. For 15 minutes to three hours (Depending on how rich you want it to be), reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the wine. The taste gets stronger the longer it simmers. Using a fine mesh sieve, remove and throw away the cinnamon sticks, orange slices, star anise, and cloves. If extra sugar is needed, taste the spiced wine and add as needed.
