Shubhra

Wondering what to do with all those bottles of wine your friends gifted to you during the holidays? Transform it into mulled wine – a warm elegant drink with sugar and spice.

Mulled Wine

Serves 10; Cook time: 20 minutes

• 2 bottles dry red wine
• 4 ounces port or brandy
• 12 whole cloves
• 4 cinnamon sticks
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 large orange, zested

Combine ingredients in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Do not allow mixture to boil. Heat for 20 minutes and serve in a large, heat resistant punch bowl.  For a cute garnish, place a cinnamon stick in each glass.
