  • Close the instant pot lid. Select High Pressure for 1 minute with the valve closed.
  • After the pressure cooking time is up, press cancel so the instant pot doesn't go to "keep warm" mode. Wait for 2-3 minutes before quick releasing the pressure.
  • When releasing pressure- make sure there is no fire or smoking etc around the pressure stream as it will contain alcohol vapors.
  • You can strain the wine at this stage and serve it warm in a mug along with a few left over spices as garnish
