Mulled Sangria

My roommate and I decorated for Christmas!

There was the first Christmas music listen, candles burning, and mulled red wine sangria.  Of course Christmas decorating calls for warm alcohol.  But I don't like eggnog.

So - I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com and decided to try it out.

So.  You put a bottle of red wine, at least 1/4 cup of brandy, at least 1/4 cup of orange juice, and a couple tablespoons of sugar into a large pot and heat until the sugar is melted.  You should probably stir it a couple times.  

After the sugar is melted, add a sliced lemon and a sliced orange.  Let it all simmer for about 5 minutes.

And it's that simple.  It's delicious.  DELICIOUS.  There is quite a kick to it - my roommate "watered" hers down with another splash of orange juice.
