My favorite is this classic, which is basically what you'll find in Julia Child's or James Beard's cookbook. It involves dry red wine, orange peel, sticks of cinnamon, and cloves:

" 2 bottles (1500 ml) of red dry wine (Cabernet Sauvignon is best, but you can use any type of dry red wine you got) Peels from 1 orange and peels from ½ lemon 7 cloves 2 cinnamon sticks (2 inch each) or 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder 6 tablespoons of sugar 1 cup of brandy or cognac or cherry liquor or whiskey!

Method 1

Mix all the ingredients above in a copper and place it over low heat. Stir well, so to be sure that all sugar is dissolved. Let the whole mixture to be heated well but don’ t let it to boil (this is very important). When it begins to steam, is ready to serve (HOT)!

Alternative Method (for more aroma and taste)

At first boil 200 ml of water with the orange and lemon peels, sugar, cinnamon and cloves. Wait until the whole mix forms a syrup, while stirring well. Then add the wine and the brandy. Let the whole mixture to be heated well but don’ t let it to boil (this is very important). When it begins to steam, is ready. Serve it HOT! "

I'm partial to the recipe in Mahalo's page on [[http://www.mahalo.com/How_to_Make_Mulled_Wine ]. The ginger adds a nice holiday flair!
