Mulled Wine

Ingredients

1 (750ml) bottle of dry red wine

1 orange, sliced into rounds

1/4 cup Brandy

1/4 cup honey or sugar

8 whole cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

2 star anise

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a non-aluminum saucepan, and bring to a simmer (not a boil -- you don't want to boil the alcohol out!) over medium-high heat.

2. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let the wine simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.

3. Strain, and serve warm with your desired garnishes.
