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.

Mulled Hot Chocolate Wine
Ingredients
For the Mulled Wine:
- 1 (750 mL) bottle red wine , (I used Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 4 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
For the Hot Chocolate:
- 2 cups (475 mL) milk or dairy-free milk
- ½ cup (60 g) cocoa powder
To Finish:
- ¼ cup (60 mL) Cointreau
Instructions
- 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.
- When both saucepans are done, pour the hot chocolate into the mulled wine. Continue heating on low for a few minutes as you stir them both together. Turn off the burner and stir in the Cointreau.
