My darling makes a mean mulled wine. Here is my take on it!
A very large jug will come in handy,
Then heat some wine and bottles of Brandy,
On top of your trusty kitchen stove
With an orange studded with more than one clove.
Then add in some orange and lemon peel
And orange juice with quite some zeal.
A cinnamon stick, some allspice too,
Will make for a gorgeous warming brew.
Now you will need some star anise,
And now just taste for expertise.
Then sugar’s needed and stacks of ginger,
To give a taste that is sure to linger.
Now ladle it into a warmed up cup,
Don’t be shy now, just drink up!
Now that’s a concoction of which I’ve never heard. It seems like a spicier and HOT Sangria…
I guess it makes sense if one comes in from the cold…
It is delicious and immensely warming on a cold day…
Cheers! And Merry Christmas to you both!
And to you!
Caro, I have made some too. I drank it and it made me very, very happy. What’s not to love about mulled wine!
