Mulled Hibiscus
Our Tea Buyer Sara Kaufman first discovered Vin Chaud, or “warm wine” in French, when she was working grape harvest in France. While exploring the rest of the country, her host shared with her this classic fall beverage of warmed wine with spices. Swap the wine for our Merry Maker's Punch blend and we can’t think of a better way to ease into the chilly weather.
