Ingredients

750 ml dry red wine (such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
1 navel orange, sliced into rounds
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
2 star anise pods
4 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1

Combine the 750 ml dry red wine (such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon), 1 sliced into rounds navel orange, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 6 whole cloves, 2 star anise pods, and 4 lightly crushed green cardamom pods in a medium saucepan.
2

Heat over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves and the wine just begins to steam. Do not let it boil - high heat drives off the alcohol and makes the wine bitter.
3

Reduce heat to the lowest setting and stir in the 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Let the mulled wine steep for 15 minutes, keeping it hot but not simmering.
4

Taste and adjust sweetness with more sugar if desired.
5

Strain into heat-safe mugs, discarding the spices. Garnish each mug with a fresh orange slice or cinnamon stick if desired. Serve immediately.
