"A Simple Step-By-Step Guide to Mulled Wine
Combine all the things first. Combine wine, brandy, maple syrup, cloves, star anise pods, cinnamon sticks, and orange peel in a slow cooker. Choose an affordable red wine for mulling. Your best choice is one described as "jammy" or as having a "fruity, full-bodied flavor."
Heat on LOW until hot. It will take about an hour for the mulled wine to get hot. Resist the urge to heat on HIGH so that you don't boil the alcohol away and to give the spices time to permeate the beverage.
Reduce heat to WARM and serve. Mulled wine actually improves as it sits; the flavors mellow and the spices perfume the whole house."
