Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 bottle red wine ((750 milliliters), see note 1)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar (, see note 2)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 10 cloves
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder (, see note 3)
- fresh ginger (, peeled & sliced (½ thumb, or to liking))

- 1 lemon (, sliced)
- 3 ounces dark rum ((90 milliliters))
- almonds (, chopped, about a teaspoon per person)
- raisins (, about a teaspoon per person)
Instruction
- Pour wine into a pot (any will work that is holds at least 1-quart/1-liter of liquid). Add sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom powder, fresh ginger, 3-4 orange slices, orange zest and lemon slices. Squeeze in juice from the leftover orange half.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer on low for 15 minutes (make sure it’s not boiling otherwise you could end up with a non-alcoholic version).
- Right before the end, pour in rum, if using.
- Optional: Throw some almonds and raisins in each glass/mug and pour warm mulled wine in. Add a slice of orange/lemon or cinnamon stick as a garnish.
- Enjoy!
