Vinho quente keto sem açúcar refinado

Ingredientes

• 2 large oranges
• 1 bottle red wine (such as merlot)
• 1/4-1/2 cup allulose (or sweetener of choice, to taste*)
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 4 cloves
• 2 star anise
• 3 cardamom pods (lightly crushed (optional))
• 1 cup brandy

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Slice one orange and set aside for garnish. Using a peeler (or pairing knife), peel away the orange rind of the second orange, doing your very (very!) best to avoid the white peel (you know, the part that results in bitter mulled wine).

2. 2

   Add the wine and spices to a non reactive pot (I used my dutch oven), and sweeten to taste. I find 1/4 cup more than enough, but know that traditional mulled wine uses about 1/2 cup. Bring it to a boil, lower the heat and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the brandy at the very end (you want an alcoholic drink after all!). Pour into mugs or heat proof glasses, garnishing with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick (optional, but pretty).

4. 4

   Turn on some holiday music, sit in front of your tree and enjoy all the cozy vibes!
