Classic Mulled Wine
|
The smell of mulling wine is so evocative of the holidays, it's almost overpowering. Almost.
We love the classic holiday scents of cinnamon, cloves and star anise wafting through the air. And the best part about this recipe is all the spices are pre-mixed for you. Just add your tipple of choice, take a long sip and wait for Santa to make an appearance.Â
