Re: Hot alcohol drinks
Hot mulled wine has made crappy wine taste good for the last thousand years. Toss in brandy or Cognac for more kick.
One recipe: 2 lemons 2 oranges 1 - 750 ml bottle of medium, to full, bodied red wine Nutmeg (to taste) Cloves (to taste) 1 oz brandy or Cognac (or to taste) 1 cup (250 ml) granulated sugar (optional) Herbal or citrus influenced tea (optional but excellent) Water (optional softener instead of tea) 4 large cinnamon sticks Instructions for making four large portions -Cut lemons and oranges into slices. -Pour the red wine into saucepan and gradually heat. -Add fruit slices, nutmeg, cloves and brandy. -Keep an eye on the mixture and wait until it becomes hot to the touch. DO NOT LET IT BOIL. -At this point you could blend in sugar or water (if desired). -Pour into glasses/mugs and add tea (to taste). -Garnish with cinnamon stick |
