Last year, my mom and I made Hot Apple Pie drinks for Christmas. They were okay, but this year we decided to go in a different direction and try our hand at mulled wine.
What You'll Need:
- 1 bottle of red wine (we used Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 4 cups of apple cider
- 1/4 cup of honey
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 3 oranges for garnish
Step One:
Combine wine, cider, honey, cinnamon, zest and juice in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
Step Two:
Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step Three:
While wine is simmering, cut oranges for garnishes.
Step Four:
Pour wine through a strainer to remove spices and zest.
Step Five:
Pour wine into glasses and add orange garnishes.
Enjoy!
