Mulled wine is typically made with red wine, spices, and fruit. The most common spices used are cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Some people also like to add a little bit of orange zest or juice to their mulled wine. As for the fruit, many people use oranges or apples. You can use any type of fruit that you like. If you want to get creative, you can even add some dried fruit to your mulled wine. Just make sure that the fruit is fresh and ripe so it will add a nice flavor to the drink.

  • 1 few cloves
  • A pinch of nutmeg

Instructions:

  1. Start by heating the red wine in a pot on the stove. You don’t want to boil it, just heat it until it’s nice and hot.
  2. While the wine is heating up, cut the orange and apple into small pieces. Add the fruit and spices to the pot of wine. Let it all simmer for about 30 minutes.
  3. After 30 minutes, taste the mulled wine. Once it tastes right, turn off the heat and strain the mulled wine into glasses. Serve and enjoy!

Pro Tips

There are a few things to keep in mind when making mulled wine:

  • Use good quality red wine, such as a cabernet sauvignon or merlot. It is not the time to use the cheapest bottle of wine you can find.
  • Don’t boil the wine, just heat it until it’s hot. Boiling will make the alcohol evaporate and you’ll be left with a weak drink.
  • If you want a stronger flavor, you can steep the spices in the wine overnight before heating it. Just make sure to remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks before serving.
  • Mulled wine is typically served hot, but you can also serve it cold. If you’re serving it cold, just let it cool down before adding the fruit and spices.
  • If you want a sweeter mulled wine, you can add more fruit or a little bit of honey.
  • If you’re using fresh fruit, make sure it’s ripe and juicy. It will give the best flavor to the mulled wine.
  • Be careful not to add too much spice. Start with a little and then add more to taste. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away once it’s in there.
  • Mulled wine is best to enjoy right after it’s made. If you have leftovers, they will keep in the fridge for a few days. Reheat before serving.
