Well hello there, Heart Full of Daisies fans! I’m AL. I’ve been a not-so-secret admirer of Heart Full for quite some time now, so I was super excited when Kate invited me to guest-post for her while she enjoys a brief break from her computer-life (sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?). I started blogging relatively recently over at Curious.
Today, I’m going to teach you how to make something very easy and VERY Christmassy: Mulled Wine.
I’ve wanted to try this forever. I helped my aunt Mary decorate her lovely house for Christmas today, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity! You need: A bottle of dry red wine (I used zinfandel), 4 cups of apple cider, cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, honey, and an orange.
Then, juice the orange into the pot:
4. If you have a sweet-tooth, add about a quarter cup of honey. If you like things a little more tart, add a little less. I added about a quarter cup, but next time I’m going with less.
Drink it with somebody lovely.
