Mulled Wine

So holiday season is here and mulled wine is both classy, dangerous and delish. Also, it's easy as crap to make. So if you want to look sophisticated for your Christmas or New Years party, I highly recommend this recipe. I also recommend using an english accent and wearing an ascot.

FOR THIS RECIPE YOU WILL NEED:


2 bottles of red wine. (I prefer Merlot but you can go with your preference. I discourage the use of sweet red, it just doesn't taste right when mulled)

1 cup of apple juice

1 capful of mint extract

3/4 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of cocoa powder (I find that unsweetened bakers cocoa works best but hot chocolate powder could work too)

3 squirts of lime juice (optional)

cinnamon, allspice, cloves, pumpkin pie spice all to taste

Mix everything together, in a pot, set stove to simmer for 20 mins. After the timer goes off, taste it and decide if you want to add more of any of your spices. Beware that if you do it right, it won't taste alcoholic at all. Enjoy this beverage warm and not too quickly or else you will be having a much better time than any one else at the party.
