Vin Chaud

This is my first 'Vin Chaud' and I am so glad I finally made it!  Even with the left over on the second day, I can 'smell' the bouquet and the orange/lemon taste super while the vin chaud over ice is just as delicious :-)

(optional: some baies genievre - juniper berries - I didn't have any - nor any anis sauvage)

PREPARATION:
