Mulled Manischewitz Wine

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle 750 ml Manischewitz or other sweet kosher red wine
  • 1 orange sliced into rounds
  • 2 cinnamon sticks plus more for garnish
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 2 star anise pods
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Combine the wine, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise in a saucepan.
  • Warm over low heat 15 to 20 minutes, until steaming but not simmering; a rolling boil cooks off the alcohol and turns it bitter.
  • Stir in the honey and taste, adding more if you want it sweeter.
  • Strain into heatproof mugs, leaving the spices behind.
  • Garnish each mug with a fresh cinnamon stick and an orange slice, and serve warm.

Good to Know

Keep a second pot of the same spices simmered in Concord grape juice for a non-alcoholic version everyone can share.
