How to Make Quick Mulled Wine

  1. In a heatproof jug or saucepan, combine the red wine, orange juice, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange zest.
  2. Add honey or brown sugar and stir gently to dissolve.
  3. Heat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through. Do not boil. Alternatively, microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  5. Strain the mulled wine through a fine-mesh sieve into two wine glasses or four heatproof mugs to remove spices.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
