Apple Mulled Wine

	Prepare the necessary components. Instead of orange, you can use 1-2 mandarins.
	Wash the apples, cut them into quarters, and remove the seeds. Slice the quarters into wedges and place them in a pot or saucepan. Pour hot water over a quarter of the lemon and slice it into wedges. Put it in the container with the apples.
	Pour hot water over the orange to prevent bitterness from the juices. Cut it into wedges and add it to the pot. If available, remove the seeds from the fruit.
	Add sugar. You may want to add some vanilla sugar or other flavorings to taste. If you prefer, replace sugar with honey, but add it to the mulled wine after it cools down to 35 degrees.
	Add cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon, allspice, and star anise. If you enjoy stronger aromas, add a couple of bay leaves.
	Pour in warm water and place the pot on the stove. Simmer for about 5-8 minutes, allowing all components to release their aromas and flavors.
	After this, turn off the heat and pour in the white wine, stirring gently, and cover with a lid to let the drink steep. Let it sit for another 3-5 minutes under the lid.
	Pour the hot apple mulled wine into glasses and cups and serve, inviting family and friends.
