Mulled Hot Chocolate Wine

As we move into the fall months, the thought of warm drinks become something of excitement. As a child, I loved drinking hot chocolate, as do my children today. As an adult, mulled wine sounds more appealing. I thought it would be fun to combine the two wonderful flavors together and make something that satisfies both the child and adult in us all.

  In a saucepan, combine all the mulled wine ingredients. Heat on medium until it comes to a light boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
• ▢
  In a different saucepan, combine all the hot chocolate ingredients. Heat on medium-low and stir until the cocoa powder has dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
