This mulled wine draws inspiration from the haunting and transformative moment Theo experiences in the Metropolitan Museum, encapsulating the warmth and depth of that life-altering day.
In a large pot, combine wine, honey, orange slices, brandy, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Do not boil.
Reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Strain and serve warm.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute red wine with grape juice.
