Red wine, port and brandy unleash a winter elixir when mixed with spices in My Mama’s Marvelous Mulled Wine.


This mulled wine tastes just like the kind my mama used to make. Now don't forget the ladle, and you're ready to enjoy this centuries-old delight.

Serves 10.

Ingredients:

2 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon
1/2 cup brown sugar
12 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
2 cups port (a sweet Portuguese wine)
2 cups brandy

Preparation:

Combine all the ingredients, except the port and brandy, into a large copper or cast-iron pot (not aluminum). Simmer while stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add port and brandy. Heat for 30 seconds. Pour all into a large heat-resistant bowl or leave it in the pot.
