I've got a box of wine and some mulling spice... I keep saying I'm going to do it, but The Wife says she doesn't like mulled wine, so I always end up not. Maybe tonight I'll make a fire and mull some wine when the snowmaggeddon starts.

Absolute best stuff after being out shoveling the drive.

Recipe: German Glühwein
  • 1/2 medium orange
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup turbinado or granulated sugar
  • 20 whole cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry red wine
  • Rum or amaretto, for serving (optional)
Warm, Don’t Boil
Mulling wine is not exactly rocket science, but there are a few tips to keep in mind. The first and most important rule? Do not let the wine boil or you will boil off the alcohol! I tend to let it heat gently for about 20 minutes before my guests arrive. It’s also not worth spending a ton of money on the wine here. Any dry red wine, from Chianti to Cabernet Sauvignon, will work. The recipe scales very easily for a smaller post-dinner cuddle-up or a holiday crowd. And then there’s the optional Schuss, or shot of hard liquor (usually rum or amaretto). I tend to order and make my Glühwein without it — especially if it’s the first of several glasses — but it does keep you warmer!

It's been so warm here (Marshall county), they're not expecting it to stick on the roadways at all, and not to last past mid-afternoon on the grass.

Talkin' about snow btw, not mulled wine...
