“Whaaaaat dude? You have forgotten
this opened bottle ??? Oh my Gosh !!! What a
loss! Stupid boyfriend!”
No no no! It is not a loss, so don’t
throw the wine away (And don’t hit your boyfriend!)! You can still use it. Yes,
yes, you can!
In Europe this is very common, when
Christmas is coming, when it is freezing cold, to make hot spiced wines: the
famous “vin chaud”, as it is called in French. Yummy good tradition!
For 2 glasses of delicious hot spiced wine
1 orange
50 cl of red wine
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
Lemon and orange rinds
Sticks of cinnamon
Pour the red wine into a pan and add
the brown sugar, the lemon and orange rinds and the cinnamon.
Heat the saucepan slowly, and boil everything
for 5 minutes.
Cut the orange into slices. Put them
directly in the saucepan.
Make sure the sugar is dissolved,
and then strain everything through a sieve before serving it in glasses.
(You can also prepare your hot spiced wine with red berries, peach, or even with white wine)
Drink the “vin chaud” with
chocolates delicaties or with cinnamon biscuit.
Cheers ;-) !
