Mulled wine may have to be one of my new favorite drinks.
Although, I did realize tonight that if you leave anything out...it makes a huge difference. So, i thought I would share the recipe that we use...because I love it so much!
1 750ml bottle of full bodied red wine
1 1/2 shots of Brandy
2 small lemons
1 orange
Nutmeg (to taste)
cloves (to taste - I think 7 cloves tastes perfect)
1/4 cup sugar
Cinnamon Sticks
Candy Cane
Slowly heat all ingredients except cinnamon sticks and candy cane together. Bring to almost a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes or so. Poor into a glass and garnish with cannamon stick in each up. Some of my friends like adding the candy cane as well...so feel free to try that, although I prefer just the cinnamon stick.
Its a fabulous recipe and takes very little time to prepare...and is sure to be a hit with any group. Also, the fruit tastes great after (or during) the drinking of the wine!
