Guys. You need to make this recipe
this weekend.
Mulled Wine
2 bottles of affordable red wine (
like this one)
1 quart of apple cider
1/2 cup brown sugar (more or less to taste)
2 cinnamon sticks
8 cloves
2 stars of anise
15-20 allspice berries
1" piece of ginger, crushed
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
Toss everything into a crock pot. Turn it up to High, and leave it for the amount of time it takes you and your friends to watch
Rare Exports. Then turn it down to Low, and simmer for the amount of time it takes you to play a game of
Tokaido. When your house smells amazing, it's ready to drink. Hand everyone a mug, maybe with a splash of
brandy or cognac in the bottom, and fill them with the spiced wine. Serve with a crackling fire and plenty of YouTube videos (we just learned
how to do the hustle).
