My Childhood Mulled Wine Recipe
My family spent time in the country with my grandparents every winter. My Grandad would make us mulled wines to keep warm, and we’d help them.
My family has a long-standing tradition of making Wine from scratch. It’s not easy, but we all love to do it.
Incredibly, Mulled Wine is so famous across Europe, and each country has its version.
The secret ingredient in this mulled wine recipe is something I couldn’t find in any other recipes. It doesn’t contain brandy; we don’t want to spoil our delicious homemade red wines.

1. Place the Wine in a saucepan and heat it for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the sugar one tablespoon at a. Be careful, as the Wine will bubble and foam up when you add the sugar. It is better to remove the Wine from the heat and add the sugar.
3. Once the sugar is melted, stir in all the spices.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it has boiled, let it simmer for 2 minutes.
You can also add apple chunks to your recipe, but we don’t usually add them.
Our recipe now includes anise, which is a relatively new addition. I must admit that it is not my favorite spice. Because it blends well with all the other spices, I added it to the mulled wine recipe. The anise is the only one I remove after 2-3 minutes. I boil all the others.
This mulled Wine has a spicy, warm taste and is full of Christmasy flavors. This is one of my favorite winter drinks because it reminds me of my childhood.
I hope you will give this mulled-wine recipe a shot. Please let me know how you like it!
