Instructions

: cinnamon, star anise, cloves and cardamom. Peel ginger and cut it into thin strips.
Now the orange
. Remove orange peel with a zester, the finer they are, the more aromas will diffuse. Squeeze the juice from the orange.

Notes
You can add other spices (pepper, nutmeg, vanilla ...) and increase the amount of sugar if you like mulled wine very sweet.
