Spiced Mulled Wine

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 bottle Boschkloof Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2019
½ cup rum
1 orange (sliced)

From Your Pantry

½ cup fresh cranberries (halved)
½ cup blackberries
4 whole cloves
2 whole star anise
2 whole cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoon honey
Additional blackberries (cranberries and orange peels/slices, for serving)

METHOD

1. Combine all ingredients in a (non-aluminum) pot or saucepan set over medium heat. 
2. Gently bring the wine to a low simmer over medium-low heat. Do not boil as this will boil off all the alcohol. Heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. To serve, carefully ladle the mulled wine into the desired number of serving glasses, leaving spices behind for re-use.
4. Garnish with additional orange slices, blackberries, and cranberries, if desired.
