Chef's Tips
- Wine Choice: Use a dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot for the best flavor.
- Slow Simmer: Keep the heat low to avoid boiling off the alcohol.
- Garnish: Add a cinnamon stick or orange slice to each mug for presentation.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the mulled wine in advance and reheat gently before serving.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace wine with grape juice and omit the brandy.
