How to Make Mulled Red Wine
- Combine red wine, orange juice, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange zest in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the wine to gently warm (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and stir in the cranberries and orange slices.
- Let the mulled wine steep for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Strain the mulled wine through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and solids (optional).
- Serve immediately in heat-resistant punch cups from a warmed silver and glass coffee carafe. Garnish with extra orange slices, cranberries, or cinnamon sticks, if desired.
