Notes

Do you love mulled wine? Also, try our Brazilian Mulled Wine.
Mulled wine typically has between 8-13 % abv. Unless you keep it simmering longer, it won't lose much alcohol content.
The drink has anti-inflammatory properties due to cinnamon and the antioxidants in red wine, reducing swelling.
Chai eliminates the need to add multiple spices to the simmering mixture. If desired, use any other spice tea of your choice (with or without caffeine).
