Mulled Wine

A Burst of Beautiful - Mulled Wine

The sweet and heady smell of mulled wine simmering away on the stove is one of the best aromas I can think of. It brings to mind comforting thoughts of cold winter evenings spent snuggled on the couch, sipping a glass of this warm and fragrant drink.

While mulled wine is a common celebratory beverage over the holidays, its festive aroma of cinnamon, cloves and anise mixed with its comforting warmth make it the perfect drink all throughout the winter months. Serve it at your next gathering, or keep it simmering on your stove for a yummy and comforting drink on a quiet weekend at home.

A Burst of Beautiful - Mulled Wine

We brewed a pot of mulled wine over the weekend after we enjoyed it at a family get-together recently. We loved it so much that we just had to share this simple and delicious recipe with all of you.

It’s best if you keep the mulled wine cooking over low heat to really let the flavors blend with the wine. And the delicious and festive fragrance wafting throughout your home is an added bonus. Even if you don’t like the taste of mulled wine, I believe it’s worth cooking up a batch just for that amazing aroma.
