Ingredients

4 small oranges
1 lemon
4 cm ginger
3 bottles (75 cl) of red wine (ex. Merlot)
100 ml Hunnegdrepp (honey liquor)
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
6 star anise
8 whole cloves

Instructions

Cut 2 of the oranges and the lemon into slices. Squeeze the juice of the 2 remaining oranges, cut the ginger into 4 smaller pieces and put everything in a big pot.
Add the wine, honey liquor, half of the honey and sugar aswell as all the spices to the pot and warm the mixture over medium-high heat. Keep an eye on it, as soon as small bubbles appear on the surface, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let simmer for about 30 minutes.
Taste the mulled wine and season with the sweetener as wished.
Serve into mugs and add a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick for garnish.

Tips

If you prefer an even more spicy taste, leave the pot with the mulled wine over low heat to simmer for a few more minutes. The longer it infuses, the more you taste the spices. Take care not to boil the wine because it looses the amount of alcohol in it.
