Mulled wine, variations of which are popular around the world, is wine, usually red, combined with spices and typically served warm. Historically, wine often went bad. By adding spices and honey, it could be made drinkable again. Nowadays, it is a traditional drink during winter, especially around Christmas.

Ingredients:

• 2 – 3 whole Cloves
• 2 crushed Nutmeg (or app. ½ tsp Ground)
• 1 - 2 Cinnamon Sticks
• Whole Lemon, unpeeled, quartered
• Whole Orange or Tangerine, unpeeled, quartered
• 1 gallon red grape juice (preferably unsweetened)

Procedure:

Pour the juice into a dutch oven. Start warming it up on the stove. Place the spices in a spice container and add to the juice. Add the quartered lemon and orange/tangerine. Allow to soak at least a half-hour, but not more than an hour. Remove the spices and lemon and orange/tangerine.

Keep covered and on lowest heat.
