We drove up to one of our town's ski mountain's last night and Glenn and I had a mulled wine next to a fire. (as you do) It was a great evening with friends and our girls and their friends but the one problem I have with bought mulled wine is it is way to sweet.
So here is a recipe with, some honey in it. You can ajust it to suit your taste.
Wait for a really cold night, light a fire if you can and enjoy.
