If this isn't just the thing for chilly winter evenings I don't know what is. The mulling combo is wonderful, DH said "The vanilla really mellows it". I doubled the cinnamon and skipped the Kirsch. This is true sippin' pleasure that can be held on warm all evening long. I didn't have any small cups available so we shared a coffee mug :D.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
