Mulled Wine O’Clock
When the nights have drawn in and it’s cold outside, sometimes staying in, slipping into your favorite pjs and lighting a candle or two is all you need to feel cosy. Pair that with a page turning book or an attention-grabbing popcorn movie and you’re set for the evening. But nothing blows away the cobwebs like wrapping up warm after a hearty Boxing Day meal and stepping out into the crisp December air for a wholesome walk, before getting back home and snuggling on the sofa with a hot cup of mulled wine. Here’s our recipe to help you unwind…
