The streets of the city have already been snow-covered, the frost is nipping at your nose and Christmas carols can be heard everywhere? This is a sign! It is a high time to drink a very tasty mulled wine!
This aromatic warming drink has been known from European countries of middle Ages. At that time, it was a real favorite of Christmas fairs and winter holidays. Fortunately, this tradition has not changed since that.
For perfect mulled wine, we need red wine (Bordeaux wine suits the best) and set of spices. The main rule is not to boil the drink. Let`s try to prepare the tastiest mulled wine in your life!
