What to do with a bottle of wine that isn't very good? Or one that's a little off? Make mulled wine!

I'm still playing with the amount of sugar, last batch was too sweet.

Ingredients

  1. 1 bottlecheap red wine (I use Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon)
  2. 1 cuporange juice
  3. 1 cuppineapple juice
  4. 3/4 cupsugar?
  5. 20cloves
  6. 4cinnamon sticks
  7. 1lemon
  8. Optional: ginger, sliced

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the juices and spices in a pot or slow cooker. Add a couple slices of the lemon.

  2. 2

    Heat slowly to give the spices a chance to flavor the mix Stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    When the mix is hot (doesn't need to boil, but close to it), and about 30 minutes before serving, add the wine. Stir well and allow it to warm up. (This doesn't have a lot of alcohol, so if you leave the wine in for a long time, the alcohol evaporates).

  4. 4

    Strain out spices. Serve in a mug. Garnish with a [new] slice of lemon and maybe a cinnamon stick.
