Clementine Mulled Wine

Prep 20 min
Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 750-mL bottle of red wine (we recommend a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 4 whole cloves
• 3 star anise
• Peel of 2 clementines
• Juice of 6 clementines
• Slices of clementines, for garnish
• Cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Combine the wine, honey, 2 cinnamon sticks, clove, star anise, clementine peel, and juice in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
2. Let the mixture heat up for at least 15 min before serving.
3. Serve in mugs or mason jars and garnish with fresh clementine slices and cinnamon sticks. Bottoms up!

Serving Tip: If you’re serving mulled wine at a holiday party, keep it in a slow-cooker over low heat so your guests can help themselves. Leave a ladle and a small plate next to the slow-cooker for clean and easy serving. You can even set up a DIY garnish bar for an insta-worthy wine moment.
