Ingredients:

• 1 bottle of your favourite red wine.
• 1/4 a of cup brandy
• 1 orange, peeled and sliced into rounds
• 8 whole cloves
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 star anise
• 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to add your desired sweetener as per taste

How to mix:

• Start by combining all the ingredients in a saucepan or a pot and give them a quick stir.
• Heat the mixture on a medium flame until the wine almost begins to simmer. Don’t let it bubble away to save it from evaporating.
• Reduce the heat, cover the lid completely and allow the mixture to simmer for at least 15 minutes or a maximum up to three hours.
• Strain the wine with the help of a fine mesh strainer. Pick out and discard the orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, and ginger. Take a sip of the mulled wine to taste and stir while adding your choice of sweetener, if you like.
• Serve the drink warm and top it up with your favourite garnishes.
