⁠
*save this post*⁠
⁠
Here's the recipe:⁠
⁠
INGREDIENTS⁠
1 bottle red wine (zinfandel or merlot)⁠
1 cup pure cranberry juice any cranberry juice will work but if you use a 'cranberry cocktail' lower the amount of maple syrup you use⁠
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey⁠
1 inch piece ginger, sliced⁠
1 orange, sliced⁠
3 whole cinnamon sticks⁠
2 star anise⁠
3 whole cloves try 1/4 tsp ground cloves if you don't have whole⁠
Garnishes: cranberries, rosemary sprigs, cinnamon sticks, orange slices from the pot of mulled wine⁠
Optional: 1/3 cup bourbon, 2-3 cardamom pods⁠
⁠
INSTRUCTIONS⁠
Pour wine, cranberry juice and maple syrup into a medium pot and stir to mix. Add bourbon if using.⁠
⁠
Slice ginger and orange and add to pot. Measure spices and add to pot.⁠
⁠
Once all ingredients are in the pot, bring to a simmer over medium heat (look for small bubbles starting to rise to the surface - should take about 5 minutes). Then reduce to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.⁠
⁠
Serve warm with garnishes.⁠
⁠
Enjoy!⁠
