Cooking Wine
While the wine does get cooked in this recipe, the alcohol does not get cooked off. Contrary to popular belief, you need to cook a recipe for three hours to cook off the alcohol. In this recipe we are are simmering (lower heat) the mulled wine for only 10 minutes. Additionally, we add more liquor at the end. If you love star anise, you can add a pod or two. I suggest that you go easy with these as they can overpower a recipe if you add too many. You could also add in some cardamom pods. I suggest using four or five.
Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Pinot Noir Syrah.
In this recipe we are using Ruby Port for two reasons. The first is that it tends to be more affordable – and we are pouring in a whopping two cups to this recipe. Additionally the berry flavors pair perfectly with the other ingredients. When you are ready to drink it, you can reheat it over low heat on the stovetop. Additionally, this is great when you drink it at room temperature.
