In addition to the food being served, be adventurous with your holiday drink! Treat guests to warm, homemade mulled wine that is enhanced with fruits and spices instead of sugar.

*To make this recipe you will need an empty tea satchel for the spices. As an alternative, whole spices can be substituted for the ground spices: tie spices together in cheesecloth or use a stainless steel tea infuser.*
