"WE'RE GRADUATING, MULL IT OVER"
For everyone who's graduating mid-pandemic and has no commencement to look forward too #classof2020
Start with a bottle of inexpensive red wine, we recommend a classic: Trader Joe's 2 Buck Chuck (now $2.99 thanks to inflation)
Slice an orange and apple, peal the orange so it's not too bitter.
Spices to add:
Cinnamon
Cardamom
Cloves
Star anise
Simmer until the wine starts to bubble, not boil, about 15 minutes to an hour. Strain, add sweetener such as honey or sugar.
Serve it hot, and drink a lot!
Make hot apple cider using the same mulling spice and fruit combo!
