Mulled wine with star anise
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If desired, sugar in mulled wine can be replaced with honey, adding it directly to the drink once it has cooled down to 35 degrees to preserve honey's beneficial properties. Serve mulled wine as an aperitif for dinner or at a party among friends. The drink is ready to serve.
