The Pantry Quiz #12

What's in a Name?

Mulled wine, a traditional hot drink during the December holiday season, probably originated in Europe during Victorian times. It's red wine that has been warmed, sweetened, and spiced, with everything nice. Name three spices on The Perfect Pantry's spice rack that typically go into the mull. [Extra credit if you can name four, or five, or six.]

I've been smelling mulled wine since they set up the Christmas market in the center of Nantes and there is always one or two stands selling soft pretzels and mulled wine out of huge steaming copper pots. Cinnamon, lemon peel, orange peel, allspice, cloves, ginger but maybe not always.

all of these above!!
