Dangerously Delicious Hot Spiced Wine
Chilly fall temperatures turned to bone chilling temperatures this past weekend in the Carolinas. Weather fit for a glass of Hot Spiced Wine.
The aroma, a bouquet of cinnamon, citrus and pepper. The flavor, rousing to the taste buds, sweet, spicy, peppery, smooth, with warm citrus notes. It goes down easily and might lure you into multiple glasses. That’s cool as long as you’re staying home in front of a crackling, blazing fire in the comfort of your own living room.
This mixture will last for several days if you refrigerate it and then gently re-heat. If you are going this route take out the fruit and spices as the citrus will begin to disintegrate into the wine and you’ll end up with a glass full of pulp. This spicy wine is dangerously delicious – drink with caution.
