Margaret's Hot Mulled Wine

My grandmother Margaret loved to entertain. This was one of her favorite beverages for cold, blustery, rainy days. We've served it through the years, usually during the holidays, and it's always a huge hit. If desired, serve flecked with nutmeg.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups boiling water

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ lemon

  • 8 whole cloves

  • 1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick

  • 1 (1.5 liter) bottle red wine

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; dissolve sugar in water. Stir in lemon quarter, cloves, and cinnamon into water; boil for 10 minutes. Strain and return to saucepan.

  2. Stir red wine into water-sugar mixture; heat until piping hot, but not boiling, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

To heat the wine without boiling it and to keep it hot, I often pour it into a slow cooker and add the strained spiced water there.
