If you asked me if I like wine, my answer would be no.
If you asked me if I like sangria or mulled wine, my answer would be yes.
I don’t like wine by itself but, with fruits or spices, it’s something completely different.
During the holiday season, I made mulled wine for the evenings with friends, to accompany our conversation, for me and M., or just for me, while resting in the couch, under the blanket, while reading a book.
Do you use to make it? Which are the spices that you use?

Se me perguntassem se gosto de vinho, a minha resposta seria não.
Se me perguntassem se gosto de sangria ou vinho quente, a minha resposta seria sim.
Eu não gosto de vinho, por si só, mas, com frutas ou condimentos, é algo completamente diferente.
Durante a altura de férias, fiz vinho quente para as noites com os amigos, para acompanhar a nossa conversa, para mim e o M., ou só para mim, enquanto descansava no sofá, debaixo do cobertor, enquanto lia um livro.
Costuma fazer? Quais são as especiarias que usa?
Mulled Wine
Place 750ml of dry red wine, 1 stick of cinnamon, 2 tbs sugar (I use coconut sugar), 1/4 ts cloves, 4 whole star anise and the peel of 1 orange in a pan over low heat and simmer, but don’t boil the mixture, for 5 minutes or until fragrant.
Put into warmed mugs and serve immediately.
You can also add other spices and ingredients to wine.

Vinho Quente
Misture 750ml de vinho tinto seco, 1 pau de canela, 2 colheres de sopa de açúcar (eu uso açúcar de coco), 1/4 colher de chá de cravinho, 4 anis estrelados e toda a casca de uma laranja numa panela em fogo baixo e coza, mas não deixe ferver a mistura, durante 5 minutos ou até sentir o perfume.
Coloque em canecas aquecidas e sirva imediatamente.
Pode também adicionar outros temperos e ingredientes no vinho.
