New Favorite: Mulled Wine

We had our second annual Christmas wine tasting party last night.  To supplement the tasting, we wanted to have some other drinks as well.  Josh picked out his beer and I went searching for something else.  I discovered mulled wine on Pinterest. This is the recipe I adapted, and it is super simple.

Crock Pot Mulled Wine
1 bottle of red wine
4 cups of apple cider
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 cup Archer Farms mulling spices
1 orange sliced

Put everything on the crock pot and heat on high until hot.  We heated ours for about 2 hours before the party started and it was nice and warm.

We left all the spices in and as the party went on, it got nice and spicy.  I would say the sweet spot for the spices was at the 4-5 hour mark, but I LOVE Christmas-y spices.  You can filter out the spices when you feel it is done (if it lasts that long).

This is basically warm, Christmas sangria.  Yum!
