How to Make Mulled Wine with Brandy
Step #1: Place the sugar in a small saucepan. Use a vegetable peeler to peel large sections of the orange into the saucepan, being careful to avoid scraping the white pith. Once peeled, cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into the saucepan. This warm, spiced alcoholic beverage is made by heating red wine with sugar, spices like cinnamon and cloves, and sometimes citrus fruits. It’s especially popular during winter, particularly around Christmas. Step #2: Add the clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Pour in ¾ cup of red wine. Bring the contents to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and boil for 3 minutes. Step #3: In a large saucepan, heat the remaining wine and star anise over medium-low for about 5 minutes. Step #4: To serve, ladle 5 ounces (a typical glass of wine) of hot wine into a serving glass. Stir in a tablespoon of the syrup and ½ ounce of Tuaca. Garnish with an orange wheel, if desired. Enjoy responsibly. This post and recipe are intended for those of legal drinking age. Freezing isn’t recommended, but reheating is easy—just warm it gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to boil it, so you keep all those lovely flavors intact. Reheat only what you need to enjoy it at its best!
