Mulled wine
November 21st, 2007 by jadeite
First batch of mulled wine made, sans vanilla essence (how on earth does my kitchen lack vanilla essence? Mom must have put it somewhere I can’t find :/) and with a Chilean red wine and half a cup of Ruby Red Absolut vodka.
Next time, I am putting in maybe a tablespoon of vodka, lots of vanilla essence, and more cinnamon.
The ethanol fumes are crazy intense! Had to add quite a bit of sugar to counteract red wine and make it sweet. It’s not too bad but I suspect hot wine would taste better in cold weather.
Edit: I found the vanilla essence and stirred some in. It’s now sitting in the refrigerator waiting for company so I can heat mugs of it up and share :D
