How to Make Gluhwein Mulled Wine

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine 1 bottle (750ml) of inexpensive red wine, 1 orange (sliced), 1 lemon (sliced), 4 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, 1/4 cup of sugar (adjust to taste), and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  2. Over medium-low heat, gently simmer the mixture for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil; this will burn off the alcohol and diminish the flavor.
  3. Remove from heat and let steep for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Strain the mulled wine through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a heatproof pitcher or individual mugs.
  5. Garnish each serving with an orange slice, cinnamon stick, or star anise, and enjoy immediately!
