Since I made mulled white wine for my winter solstice ritual tonight I decided to post the recipe for it as well. Red wine is, of course, traditional for mulling but I didn’t feel like dealing with the bloody nose that accompanies my drinking of red wine. Yes, as an offering to the Gods, blood would be Powerful but I’m not looking for that type of Power; white wine works well for this Witch. *grin*

1 bottle Riesling
3 Tbs honey
1/2 inch fresh ginger
3 cardamon pods
2 sticks of cinnamon
6 clove buds
zest of an orange

Add all ingredients to a non-reactive sauce pot (stainless or non-stick) and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is slightly reduced and fragrant with spices. Allow to cool for a few minutes before straining out the spices. Serve warm.
