There’s nothing like a warm drink to ring in holiday cheer; and this season, it’s easy to give your beverage of choice a winter update with our Mulled Wine recipe! Heated, spiced, and sweetened, mulled wine is the perfect accompaniment to both a quiet night in and a festive holiday celebration. And the best part is, you don’t need a fancy bottle of wine to make a delightfully complex and enjoyable drink. Start with a mid-tier wine and don’t be afraid to get creative while making this fun and delicious winter warmer.

PSC Mulling Spice Blend: A mixture of spices such as cloves, cinnamon sticks, orange peel and other spices, our PSC Mulling Spice Blend is designed to flavor cold-weather favorites like mulled wine and apple cider.

Steps

  1. Pour bottle of wine into a large pan. Add the orange juice and sugar and place over a low-medium heat.
  2. As the wine heats up, add PSC Mulling Spice Blend. Stir well.
  3. Continue to heat until it almost simmers. NOTE: Do not boil as this will cook off the alcohol.
  4. Turn the heat to low and stir again to ensure the sugar has dissolved. Cover and continue to heat for another 15 minutes. Make sure it remains below boiling.
  5. Remove from heat and strain through a sieve to remove the spices.
