Ingredients
- 2 Large Oranges
- 1 Bottle Merlot Wine
- 1/3 Cup Brandy
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 2 Cinnamon Sticks
- 4 Star Anise
- 4 Whole Cloves
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Cranberries
Method
- Cut one orange in half and slice the second orange into even slices.
- Set a large pot over low-medium heat, lay in the orange slices and squeeze the juice from the orange halves into the pot.
- Pour in the merlot, then the brandy and maple syrup, and add the cinnamon sticks, star anise, whole cloves and cranberries, stirring to combine.
- Raise the heat to medium and warm the wine for about 4 to 5 minutes, until it steams without coming to a boil.
- Drop the heat to low, taste and add a little more maple syrup if you want it sweeter, or leave it up to 5 minutes longer for more spice.
- Ladle the mulled wine into mugs, spooning some cranberries and orange into each, and serve warm.
