🍷 Mulled Wine with Honey (Red Wine)

🧾 Ingredients:
• 1 bottle of red wine (semi-sweet or dry, to taste)
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2–3 cinnamon sticks
• 6–8 cloves
• 2–3 star anise
• 2–3 tbsp honey (or to taste)
• 50 ml brandy or cognac (optional)
• Optional: a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla for extra warmth

👨‍🍳 Instructions:
1. In a pot, combine the wine, orange and lemon slices, and spices. Do not add honey yet.
2. Heat over medium heat, without boiling, for about 15–20 minutes. Boiling will evaporate the alcohol and make the wine taste sharp.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the honey until dissolved. This preserves its flavor and aroma.
4. Add brandy or cognac if desired.
5. Cover and let the mulled wine steep for 10–15 minutes to fully release the aromas of the spices.
6. Strain into mugs or heatproof glasses and serve hot.

✨ Garnish with an orange slice or a cinnamon stick in the glass for a cozy, festive touch.
