Mulled wine. The kind of kingly beverage best enjoyed out of golden goblets next to a roaring fire. Or perhaps you like to drink it while you pretend to be living in an old-timey storybook while snow softly falls outside. Or maybe you’re just happy living in the present and sipping it out of your favorite mug. However you prefer to enjoy this delicious cold weather beverage, grab your largest pot and get stirring.
