A Festive way to Warm Up: Vin Chaud, by Athos
Mulled WINE
1 bottle of red wine (doesn’t have to be from Languedoc, top-quality OR your favourite!)
1½ cups apple or orange juice
¼ cup of brandy (Armagnac or Cognac)
1 orange, sliced in rings, with skin on
¼ cup of sugar (to taste)
3 cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
Put all ingredients into a saucepan and turn on low heat. Warm through until hot, without boiling. Serve on a cold winter’s day in large, sturdy goblets.
