Mulled Wine
Magical aromas are simmering on the stove. Spices and citrus fill the air while gently infusing a fruity Pinot Noir!
Cook Time 45 minutes mins
- 5 whole cloves
- 5 whole allspice
- 6 small cinnamon sticks
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 lemons, sliced thin
- 1 bottle Pinot Noir
Place the cloves and the allspice in a small mulling spice ball.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and the water, along with the cinnamon sticks and the spices in the mulling ball.
Cook the liquid stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon slices. Cover and let the mixture steep for 20 minutes.
Stir in the wine and return the pan to a medium-low heat. Gently warm the wine but do not allow it to boil.
Ladle the mulled wine into wine glasses or mugs.
