‘Tis the night before Christmas at The Seasonal Gourmet
The weather is frightful and the snow’s here to stay
What could be better to chase off the cold
Than a cup of mulled wine, with flavours so bold
In a large stockpot on medium high
Heat up a bottle of your favourite red wine
Pour in the cranberry, only a cup
And heat the whole mixture until it warms up
Toss in the spice pack and spoonfuls of sweet
And continue to simmer on medium heat
Add in the peel, from an orange rind
Or from a tangerine – whatever you find
Garnish your glass with an orange slice
And serve the drinks hot or chilled over ice
Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year
And enjoy lots of good food and holiday cheer!
Bon Appétit and Happy Holidays!
