Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Hot Mulled Wine.
Step 1
To create a delightful mulled wine that warms the heart and soul, start by bringing a saucepan of water to a boil.
Step 2
Once it's bubbling, add in the white sugar and stir until it completely dissolves, creating a sweet base for your spiced concoction.
Step 3
Next, introduce the zesty lemon, aromatic whole cloves, and a fragrant cinnamon stick to the mix.
Step 4
Allow this delightful blend to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
This simmering time is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully, filling your kitchen with a cozy aroma.
Step 6
After 10 minutes, it’s time to strain the mixture, removing the lemon, cloves, and cinnamon stick, and returning the fragrant liquid to the saucepan.
Step 7
Now, pour in a bottle of full-bodied red wine, stirring it into the spiced water.
Step 8
Heat this mixture gently, keeping an eye on it to ensure it warms up nicely without boiling—this should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 9
Finally, when it’s steaming and inviting, serve your mulled wine warm, and for an extra touch of warmth, sprinkle a little ground nutmeg on top.
Step 10
Enjoy this comforting drink with friends or family, and let the flavors transport you to a cozy winter evening!.
