Storied Goods' Mulled Wine

Ingredients

  • 1 (750-milliliter) bottle of dry red wine
  • ¼ cup brandy or orange liqueur
  • 1 orange, peeled and sliced into rounds 
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise pods
  • 1-2 Storied Goods Infused Sugar Cubes (depending on desired sweetness)
  • Garnish: Citrus slices (orange, lemon, and/or lime), cinnamon sticks, star anise

Directions

  1. Combine wine, brandy, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and sugar cubes to a large saucepan. Stir briefly to combine. Place over medium-high heat until it just barely reaches a simmer. (Avoid letting it bubble; you don’t want to boil off the alcohol.) Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.

  2. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Taste and add extra sweetener if needed.

  3. Serve warm in a mug, topped with garnishes, accompanied with good company and cozy stories.
