I thought I’d pop in tonight to share an easy winter warmer if you are trying to get through your holiday season in one piece – and could a slightly stronger libation in your hand to do so. It’s also a useful little recipe when you have a single cup of wine leftover that you might get bored drinking plain.
Emergency mulled wine for one
Microwave a mug of red wine (your choice of pour size) with the juice of a clementine, and a spoonful of sugar, for about a minute, or until hot. Add a splash of brandy or cognac, or a little more if you need it. Steep with a few tablespoons of mixed spices in a tea steeper – that’s the Manatea! – I have nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and star anise in mine. Get cozy, and have your drink!
