WELCOMING MULLED WINE





During the Autumn months, I love to offer Mulled wine to our guests during holiday gatherings. What a wonderful way to say.."We're Glad You're Here!" This should help set the mood in your home for everyone to relax, smile and be happy! No need to rush...laugh, have a good time and perhaps dance to the music.....



WELCOMING MULLED WINE

4 cups apple cider
1 (750-ml) bottle red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
¼ cup honey
2 cinnamon sticks
Zest and juice of one orange
4 whole cloves
3 star anise
Peel of 4 oranges, for garnish



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 or glasses, add an orange peel and serve.
