a drink that tastes of winter

27 December 2012

I can't help but think of snowfall, warm mittens, and skiing when I sip on a mug filled with piping hot gluhwein (also known as mulled wine). It's the drink that reminds me how truly wonderful this season is. I don't think that anyone makes it better than my sweet mom and I'm excited to share her recipe with all of you!

1 bottle of red wine
Same amount of Fanta (as there is red wine)
1/2 cup of sugar
1 orange, cut into slices
1 apple, cut into slices
1 lemon, cut into slices
1 cinnamon stick

Place all ingredients into a pot. Bring to a boil. Serve warm and garnish with an orange slice or cinnamon stick if you'd like. Enjoy!

P.S. A taste of summer and fall.
