Hot Spiced Mulled Wine Recipe

by mam at GaveThat.com June-8-2015

A simple mulled wine from an antique Glühwein recipe you'll love to sip over the holidays.

Ingredients

• 2 heaping Tablespoons Mulling Spices (my blend includes 6 cloves, nutmeg, whole allspice, dried orange peel, cinnamon sticks broken up and dried rose hips)
• 1 bottle dry red wine
• 1 cup Brandy
• 1 orange sliced into wheels
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

In a large pot add the red wine and rest of ingredients leaving the Brandy aside. The mulling spices can be tied in a cheesecloth ball, placed in a tea ball or you can create your own mulling spice bags using the DIY method found here. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Then add the Brandy and bring once again to a boil. Strain of fruit or use it as garnishment in the glasses.
