Lately, I have found that I am drinking a lot more warm drinks: coffee, tea and other things. If there is a way to heat something up, I am doing it. I love warm cocktails but taking a serious spirit like rum, whiskey or even tequila is a bit much for something that I might want to drink every couple of days. I don’t drink a lot and that’s a lot of alcohol. Instead of something that packs a good punch (like spirits), you can turn to wine for some interesting – and warming- sips that pack in the flavor but are lighter in alcohol and you don’t need to use as much wine as you would spirits in the concocting of these beverages.

2 T honey
2 T brand,
1 spice bag (the entire bag)

Pour all ingredients into a pot.
Put pot on stove and heat at medium-high heat for 3 minutes –(not a boil — you don’t want to boil the alcohol out!)
