Ingredients
1 (750 ml) bottle of dry red wine.
1/4 cup brandy (or orange liqueur)
1 orange, sliced into rounds (also peeled, if you would like a less-bitter drink)
8 whole cloves.
2 cinnamon sticks.
2 star anise.
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste (or your desired sweetener)
How to make ready made mulled wine?
