Mulled Wine

Heather Hands

Yum

When the weather starts to cool off and the days grow shorter, mulled wine — with its array of spices and comforting warmth — turns any event into a festive occasion.

“It feels like the grown-up version of hot chocolate,” says Heather of Flourishing Foodie. “There’s something so soothing about a simmering pot of mulled wine on the stove, the smell of cinnamon and cloves – it warms my heart.”

Heather’s recipe includes unsweetened apple cider and brandy to blend with the wine and spices. Apples and honey add a bit of sweetness, while fresh oranges and limes impart subtle citrus overtones.

In addition to its fabulous flavor, this drink will fill your house with enticing aromatic goodness. Cheers!
