Slow Cooked Pomegranate Mulled Red Wine

Mulled wine is one of the easiest yet impressive large-batch drinks you can make during the colder months of the year. Depending on the recipe, cook time can vary from as little as 15 minutes at a higher heat on the stovetop all the way up to 6 hours in a slow cooker. This pomegranate and citrus-infused version cooks at a bare simmer for 2 hours in the Anova Precision Oven, which is ample time to yield a mulled wine that is slightly sweet, tart, and very aromatic from the various spices added to it during the cooking process. Try this recipe as is or make it your own by switching up some of the ingredients — make it a cranberry version by using cranberry juice and switching out the fruit garnish or make it extra boozy by using a smoky bourbon or whisky in place of the brandy. If blood oranges aren’t available at your local market, you can substitute another navel orange, a cara cara orange, or even a large mandarin or tangerine.
