Mulled White Wine image

This warming drink has the flavorful depth of the classic red version but is lighter in body. Choose a white that's not too acidic, such as a Viognier or an oaked Chardonnay (wines that are more astringent can develop a harsh edge when heated).

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 orange
5 whole cloves
3 whole star anise pods
1 piece (1 inch) peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 bottle (750 mL) medium-bodied white wine

Steps:

  • Peel orange in strips using a vegetable peeler, being careful not to remove any pith (the white part). Push cloves into peel.
  • Combine clove-studded orange peel, the star anise, ginger, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and add wine. Let stand for 20 minutes to mull.
  • Just before serving, gently reheat mulled wine over medium heat until just beginning to simmer. Serve warm.
