Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bottles dry red wine
  • 1 whole orange sliced
  • 4 sticks cinnamon
  • 4 whole star anise
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brandy

Method
 

  1. Pour the red wine into the crockpot.
  2. Add the orange slices, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves, and honey.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, keeping it below a simmer so it doesn't boil off.
  4. Stir in the brandy just before serving.
  5. Strain out the spices and ladle the warm mulled wine into mugs.

Notes

Don't let it boil — gentle warming keeps the alcohol and flavor intact.
