Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bottle Red Wine (*see Notes)
  • 1/8 cup Orange Liqueur (*see Notes)
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1/2 Teaspoon whole Cloves
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 3 Green Cardamom pods
  • Raisins (optional)
  • peeled whole or sliced Almonds (optional)
  • Sugar or Honey to sweeten

Instruction

  • Pour the red wine into a pot. Gradually warm up the red wine. Never boil mulled wine because the alcohol will evaporate (except if you want an alcohol-free mulled wine). You want that the wine takes in the aroma of the spices.
  • Pour in the Orange Liqueur and mix.
  • Add the fresh sliced ginger, cloves, cinnamon stick, and slightly crushed cardamom pods.
  • Mix and allow the mulled wine to slowly simmer. The lowest heat setting over a longer period of time results in the best-mulled wine.
  • Then take out or discard the spices so that you are left with the infused red wine.
  • Add the raisins and almonds if you like.
  • Sweeten with honey or sugar to your liking.
  • Keep the mulled wine on a very low heat setting until you serve it up. If you feel the mulled wine has reduced a lot, add little water to it but make sure the glogg is properly hot.
  • Serve hot in a cup.
