Mulled Wine

A tradition in the British Isles, a hot Mulled Wine is part of any Anglo holiday celebration. This drink is pretty much a hot punch with wine being the main ingredient, but port, brandy, and honey are there for sweetness and the selection of spices is there for flavoring.

• 6 oz. dry red wine (Ravens Wood zinfandel used)
• 1 oz. ruby port
• 1 oz. brandy
• 1 cinnamon stick
• grated nutmeg to taste
• 3 cloves
• lemon twist

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Warm, do not boil, while stirring and pour into a warm coffee mug.
