Orange Anise Mulled Wine


2 bottles good quality red wine
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick cinnamon
3 star anise
1 tsp whole cloves
1 orange
Orange peel strips

Remove the orange peel using a vegetable peeler. Cut peel into strips. Squeeze juice from orange; discard seeds and pulp. In large size slow cooker combine orange juice, wine, and brown sugar.

For the spice bag, tie the orange peel, cinnamon, star anise, and whole cloves in a cheesecloth bag. Add to slow cooker. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 6 hours to simmer in flavors. Serve in punch cups. Delicious!!

Tip... if you dont have a slow cooker heat in a pan (do not boil) and dont use alluminium or the wine will take on a bitter flavour. Also use a good quality red wine.
