Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 each medium organic orange
20 each whole cloves (give or take a few cloves - no need to be exact)
750 ml light red wine (1 bottle, on the drier/lighter side is better. We love Pinot Noir, Lemburger or Merlot can also work)
3 each (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
5 each strips lemon peel (about 2 inches long each, just use a carrot peeler and try to avoid including too much pith)
1/4 cup sugar (start with 1/4 cup and add to taste up to 2/3 cup)
1/3 cup brandy
Cinnamon sticks
Orange slices

Steps:

  • Using a toothpick, poke 20 holes all over your orange, then poke the cloves into the holes.

  • Stir in the brandy. Taste and add more sugar if desired. Depending on your wine and tastes, you may only need the intial 1/4 cup of sugar, or you may need the entire 2/3 cup.
  • Ladle into three large or four smaller mugs, garnish if desired, pass 'em out and and inhale your Glühwein goodness.

Provided by rainy

Categories     Drinks Recipes     Mulled Wine Recipes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 oranges
2 (750 milliliter) bottles red wine
1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine
1 (3 inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cinnamon sticks
½ teaspoon ground cloves
⅓ cup brown sugar, or to taste
¼ cup brandy

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the oranges in strips, being careful to remove only the orange part, leaving the pith behind. Then, juice the oranges into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Pour the red wine and white wine into the pot with the orange juice. Place the strips of orange zest, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and brown sugar into the pot with the wine mixture; stir to dissolve the sugar.
  • Cover and heat over medium-high until heated through, but not boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and heat for an hour or longer to bring all of the flavors together. Adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar, as necessary. Strain and serve hot with a splash of brandy, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine: Select a red wine with a bold flavor profile and a higher alcohol content, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Zinfandel. Avoid wines that are too sweet or have a low alcohol content.
  • Use fresh spices: Whole spices provide the most intense flavor. Toast them in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes to release their aromas before adding them to the wine.
  • Simmer gently: Bring the wine and spices to a simmer over medium-low heat. Do not boil the wine, as this will cause the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to become harsh.
  • Add sweetness and acidity: Balance the flavors of the wine by adding a sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, and a touch of acidity, such as lemon juice or orange zest.
  • Garnish with citrus: Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and limes, add a bright and festive touch to mulled wine. Stud them with cloves or cinnamon sticks for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Mulled wine is a warm and comforting beverage perfect for sipping on a cold winter night. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful mulled wine that will impress your friends and family. Experiment with different spices and flavors to create your own unique recipe. Serve it at your next holiday party or gathering and enjoy the warm, festive feeling it brings.
