Mulled wine is one of our favorite winter drink recipes - it's perfect for chilly nights and movies on the couch. We used Ina Garten's recipe (we have a love hate relationship with the Barefoot Contessa, but this we love) and adapted it by adding a little more wine...it is the holidays and all. This is our go to cocktail for all the winter nights ahead and it's truly simple to make.
Ingredients
4 cups apple cider
1 (750-ml) bottle red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon (or as we do - double it)
1/4 cup honey
2 cinnamon sticks
1 orange, zested and juiced
4 whole cloves
3 star anise
4 oranges, peeled, for garnish
Directions
Combine the cider, wine, honey, cinnamon sticks, zest, juice, cloves and star anise in a large saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Pour into mugs, add an orange peel to each and serve.
