Could we leave you without a sauce with which to enjoy the panettone? Absolutely not! Eggnog, you know, it is traditional in this time of year, but we wanted to give it a new flavour that connected it to Christmas even more 🙂 ! So we’ve added some spices to the traditional recipe… And the Spicy mulled white wine eggnog was born.
Firstly this recipe will show you how to make mulled wine at home, the main ingredient for our eggnog. For convenience, we have marked the doses to 750 ml of wine, but remember that for a portion of eggnog will need only 50 ml of vine. Never mind, if you’ll not use all the wine to prepare this sweet cream… For surely the mulled wine will not be wasted 😀 .
If you prefer a more compact cream, use a still white wine, if you want it more soft and fluffy, a sparkling wine. Take your choice! 🙂
