This Easy Mulled Wine is a comforting, aromatic blend of a full-bodied red wine simmered with sweet dried figs, crisp apple slices, zesty orange slices, and warm spices like cinnamon and cloves, sweetened to perfection with honey.
Brown sugar or maple syrup are great alternatives to honey.
Instructions
In a small/medium pot add all the ingredients, heat on low for approximately 20 minutes (do not boil).
Pour through a sieve, divide between two glasses, add an orange slice to each glass and serve. Enjoy!
