Wow, it was the first time tastying this beverage and I love it. Easy to make with ingredients that I have always on hand. I served to my friends with a bowl of fresh strawberries and everyone asked for a recipe. Made it for ZWT3. Thanks Dreamgoddess for a terrific recipe!

Great recipe.This is a variation which is well worth trying.Instead of heating the sugar and wine,leave it to marinate overnight, I also add the peel of one lemon which I remove next day and about 4 tbsp of either brandy, madeira or sherry. I prefer madeira, the mingled flavors are sublime.

This is a very easy to make, but oh so delicious beverage. I love the taste of white wine, cream/milk flavors and nutmeg. I have used a mixture of half.and-half with milk to make it as a beverage. It asted so good, that you can't stop after just having only one.
