Hello Everyone!
I hope the new year started out great for you.
As you know I always love to hear from you, however lately I was so sad to read that many of my fans are suffering from the sniffles.
Most of you love my chicken soup recipe for colds, however lately I got so many requests for “Mulled Wine” that I decided to share some recipe with everyone.
Perhaps you know that Mulled Wine
can be created with Red Wine of 
White Wine. The choice is yours however in Hungary, Red Wine is more popular.
These rustic drinks could be served simply to warm you up following a nice walk with your furry friend or taking a break from skating and skiing. Sometimes, a cup of warm goodness could thaw you out after coming home frozen from work.
However in Hungary and many other parts of the World, these hot drinks are believed to have medicinal properties. Which is never an impossibility with all the spices going in them to enrich an already magical bottle of wine.
In Hungary every farmers market have a rustic little outdoor section where they sell Mulled Wine (Forralt Bor) in the fall and winter months. On dark, stormy, cloudy fall and 
winter days everyone would be thankful for a glass of Hungarian Mulled Wine. Many time I get requests from my friends before they visit, not to serve traditional Champagne or Wine before dinner but a glass of 
Hungarian Mulled Wine. My friends and family just love to sit around the fireplace, chat and slowly drink these tasty creations.
If you’d like a truly Hungarian experience why don’t you try a bottle of Hungarian wine for the recipe. There are some inexpensive great wine’s available outside the borders of Hungary. I know at least in Canada and the US. For red wines Bull’s Blood (Bikaver) and Szekszardi Red; for white wine Debroi and Tokaji Aszu is also great.
I, however also love to create virgin versions of these drinks using apple cider or grape juice as the little ones shouldn’t be left out either.
You’ll be surprised how grown up you will make them feel when you serve these virgin Mulled Wine’s to them in wine glasses.
