Spiced Wine

We think that we may have perfected the art of making a wonderful spiced wine for all seasons. Here’s how we do it:

Ingredients:
1 bag of La Belle Amie’s mulling spices.
64 ounces of Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail
1 bottle of Poor Bastard Merlot

In any kind of pot, mix the package of mulling spices and the cranberry juice cocktail. Heat on low until the mulling spice has dissolved.
Then:

For a full-bodied, hot drink add one bottle of Poor Bastard Merlot and heat (but DO NOT boil). Serve in a mug, cup, or wine glass.

Any leftovers may be refrigerated for up to two weeks. For instant pleasure in the winter, heat in a mug in the microwave.
