Mulled wine

Great hot drink at x-mas time, this is my version :
Two bottles of a full-bodied red wine such as
Corbières for example
One bottle of sweet muscat wine
Some brow sugar
Cinnamon sticks
One orange
Clove
Cardamom
Bay leaves
Some vodka
Garnish with raisins and whole peeled almonds
Smells wonderful goes vey well with gingercookies, homemade candies and fruits to be enjoyed among friends ...
