Mulled Wine

What do you do with all the extra wine from a wedding?  When I visited Soren and Bai in Frieburg, Germany last year, one of my favorite things was the Christmas market.  And in the Christmas market, they had mulled wine.  It was so tasty!

Well, after the wedding, John and I had a ton of leftover wine.  I'm a big white wine drinker, but the red wine gets emptied quite a bit slower.  So, I decided to see if I could make some mulled wine myself.  With a package of mulling spices, it couldn't be easier!

I recommend using less spice mix than the package directions.  It calls for a 2 bottles of wine to one package of spices ratio.  I used more like 3 bottles to one package.  It tasted a lot like my memory of the "glow wine" at the Christmas market.  I can't wait to use some of the spices in hot apple cider!

Does anyone else have a mulling method? :)
