\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Preparation
I. Preparing the Caramel Base
Caramelization: Melt the sugar in a thick-walled saucepan over low\/medium heat. Do not stir, but rather shake the saucepan. Wait until the sugar has completely melted and turned into a beautiful, light brown, golden caramel. Do not let it burn, as it will be bitter!
Solution: Carefully pour the water over the caramel. Be careful, it will steam strongly at this time! Let it bubble slowly until the caramel is completely dissolved in the water, forming a thick syrup.
II. Making the Mulled Wine
Adding the wine: Pour the red wine into the caramel syrup.
Spices and plums: Add the prunes, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise and the thicker, washed peel of the orange (only the orange part, the white part can be bitter).
Heating: Heat the mulled wine very slowly and carefully. The key is to release the flavors, but not to evaporate the alcohol completely.
Caution! Do not boil! When it starts to bubble around the edges, remove from the heat (the boiling point of wine is about $80^\\circ\\text{C}$).
Resting: Let stand for at least $10 \\text{ minutes}$ under a lid so that the plums soften and the aroma of the spices can release.
III. Serving
Strain the wine (or just remove the cinnamon stick and peel).
Place the plums in the bottom of each glass, then pour the hot mulled wine over them.
Garnish with fresh orange slices or a new cinnamon stick.
If you like, you can add a little rum to the glass now.
I highly recommend you try it! It is guaranteed to warm your soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
