![]() ![]() Slow cookers are my favorite way to serve homemade mulled wine, especially if you’re hosting a large party because the wine will stay warm all night long. If you’d like, you can combine these ingredients in a slow cooker and let it heat on ‘low’ for a few hours before serving it. Once boiling, let the mixture simmer for five minutes and then ladle into mugs and enjoy! To make this easy mulled wine, combine a bottle of red wine (I prefer pinot noir), bourbon, sugar, sliced oranges, and a few spices into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Needless to say, I don’t have that kind of patience so I’ve created an ultra simple mulled wine recipe (you’re welcome!). Homemade mulled wine may also feature citrus, sugar, or fresh ginger, and additional liquors may be added for additional warmth and flavor.Īlthough easy to make no matter what recipe you use, mulled wine can sometimes require a few hours of simmering to bring all the flavors together. The types of spices and flavorings can vary, but cinnamon and cloves are usually involved. Mulled wine is typically a red wine that’s been mixed with spices and is served warm. I believe the Brits have a similar drink called wassail as well, though I’m not as familiar with that drink! ![]() In France, they call mulled wine vin chaud, in Sweden it’s called glogg, and the Germans call it Glühwein. According to the Spruce Eats, mulled wine is traditionally sold by European street vendors during the winter months and is often served with cookies or biscuits for dipping. Sadly, mulled wine isn’t a super popular drink in the US, but it’s long been loved in Europe. Oooh, it would totally make for a great gift for the home lover in your life. I’m hosting a giveaway with Farmhouse on my Instagram later today, where we’ll be giving away a set of these gorgeous mugs. I’ve been drinking my morning coffee from their tall silo mug and it’s just perfect. I’ll surely be serving this at our holiday get togethers this year □Īlso can we talk about these stunning mugs from Farmhouse Pottery? I am so obsessed with everything these guys do. Like, no joke, when I was a tiny blogger just starting out, I started following them and was like POTTERY GOALS. It tastes like fall in your mouth, and gets even better as the flavors meld together. Basically throw everything into a pot and bring it to a simmer. This simple mulled wine recipe is SO easy to make. I don’t understand why-it’s perfectly spiced, warms your belly, and is easy to make. So like, let’s make mulled wine a thing. Throw in a cinnamon stick, maybe a bit of the orange peel, roll out the faux bear skin rug, crank the imitation fire place in your ski chalet, and enjoy.Mulled wine is a holiday tradition that doesn’t get enough love. I like to use ceramic cups to help keep it warm for longer. 9.Have a little taste, and if you are happy with the flavour, it's time to serve.Like I said earlier, you can drink this as soon as it's hot, and it will taste great but, in my opinion, for the best flavour let it mull for at least 30 minutes. 8.Now this step really depends on how much patience you have.The earlier you add it the more of the alcohol will be cooked off, so if you want it to be a bit more mellow, you can add it at the beginning, or if you like it with a bit of a kick add it just before serving. 7.Add the brandy, if using, to the mulled wine, and give it another stir.6.Give the mulled wine a stir every couple of minutes to make sure the sugar is dissolved and the spices are getting a nice little bath.I like to crush the spices in my hand a bit before adding, to help unlock some of the flavour hidden inside. 5.Add your clove-studded orange peels, as well as the rest of the spices to the saucepan.I'm a pulpy orange kind of guy, but if that's not you, then feel free to strain the juice before you put it in. 4.Using a citrus juicer, juice your recently naked orange, and add it to the pot.It also makes for a nice little garnish come serving time. You could also just add the cloves straight into the pot, but this stops them from floating around and being swallowed later on. 3.Take your cloves and stud them through the orange peel, about 3cm apart.If you have particularly nice knife skills you can try and peel the entire skin off the orange in one go, definitely not important, but it looks kind of cool. 2.Using a vegetable peeler, peel the skin off the orange in long strips.The trick here is to not let the mulled wine boil, if it starts to bubble, just take it off the heat for a minute and return to the stove. 1.Add the red wine and sugar to a medium-sized saucepan and put it on the stove on a low heat. ![]()
