A classic holiday mulled wine to have going on your stove on repeat all season.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle red wine

  • 4 cups apple cider
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 4 star anise pods
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • Additional cinnamon sticks, star anise pods, and orange peels for garnish
  • Optional: 2 shots of brandy

Instructions

  • Pour wine and cider (and optional brandy) into a slow cooker or large pot.
  • Juice half an orange into the pot.
  • Add cinnamon sticks, star anise pods, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Add half an orange (including the peel), sliced into two or three pieces.
