Hot Spiced Wine Recipe!!

Looking for a perfect cold weather beverage that will also make your house smell awesome?! This Hot Spiced Wine does just that! I have to admit that I was initially thinking “Will red wine taste weird hot?” The answer is NO – it tastes Ah-mazing!

Hot Spiced Wine Recipe

Ingredients:
* 1 quart water (4 cups)
* 3 cups sugar
* 1/2 t. ginger
* 4″ cinnamon stick
* 6 whole allspice
* 12 whole cloves
* Rind of an orange or lemon
* 2 cups unsweetened orange juice
* 1 cup lemon juice
* 1 quart Burgundy Wine

Directions:

Add all ingredients, except the wine, and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 30 minutes. Strain and add wine. Keep warm in crock-pot or cool & bottle. Will make 2 1/2 bottles. Yummy! 😄

My Notes: I used half the sugar in this recipe and it still tasted wonderful. Also, I boiled the ingredients in a medium saucepan first then transferred to a slow cooker when I strained the liquid. I used a very inexpensive red cabernet wine from Cost Plus World Market.

Relax and have a nice hot cup to ring in the New Year. Enjoy!
