DIY Mulled Wine
Mulled wine is the most popular hot drink at German and Austrian Christmas markets. It is generally a winter-holiday drink, which a lot of people know as an “after-ski” drink. Around 40 million liters are drank every year during the season. Unfortunately, often cheaper wine is used, leading to the infamous hangover the next morning. EAT SMARTER has come up with a recipe so that you can try this European winter tradition at home without the dreaded headache the following day.
