♡ Mmmmm…Hot Spiced Mulled Wine. ♡
Mulled wine is always a popular winter choice at the Sky Pilot Restaurant, the perfect way to warm up after a February adventure outdoors, and it’s guaranteed to make your home smell absolutely amazing!
hot spiced mulled wine
- 4 cups red wine
- 1oz apple cider powder, dissolved in 1 cup of hot water
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 cup cranberry juice
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 teaspoon cloves
- 2 teaspoon star anise
- 2 tablespoons honey
Serves 4
- Combine Ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and give them a quick stir.
- Simmer. Heat on the stove on medium to high heat and gently simmer for 15 minutes.
- Strain and Serve. Using a fine-mesh strainer, remove and discard the spices. Serve in your favorite glass mug and garnish with a slice of orange.
The mixture can be kept warm on a low heat for up to 3 hours, or cooled and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can find apple cider powder near the tea/hot drinks in your local grocery store or substitute with an equal amount of apple juice.
