Holiday Mulled Wine – Low Sugar – Low Carb

RatingDifficultyBeginner

The other day I was going through my cabinets and I found a bag of Mulling Spice that my sister left at my house.  The first thing I thought of is "What the heck are Mulling Spices?" followed by "What can I use them for and why do they smell so good?".  What I found is that Mulling Spices have been used worldwide for centuries to flavor beverages from fruit juice to brandy.  But I'm going to show you how to make a holiday favorite, Mulled Wine.  The essences of the mulling spices will create a complex undertone of spicy and citrus flavors which complement the basic fruit elements of red wine.  Here's the kicker, we are cutting out a lot of the sugar and knocking the carbs down to 15 g with calories at 110 but keeping all the amazing flavor.  Serve this at your holiday party and it will be certain to raise the level of cheer!
