"Lift your chalice and make a royal toast to the King! Add your favorite beverages and The Tudors -themed drink ideas right here!"
This is usually a Christmas time drink but hot spiced wine is yummy any time of the year and very Tudor! There are so many different recipes and methods of making it, but I haven't had one I haven't liked so far and they're basically variations on the same thing and very easy to make. My family and I make it the Swedish way with raisins and nuts but you can add or subtract whatever you like.

Basic Ingredients:

* Red wine -- 1 (750-ml) bottle
* Sugar or honey -- 3-5 tablespoons
* Cinnamon sticks -- 2-4
* Cloves -- 4-6
* Cardamom pods -- 3-4
* Orange peel -- from 1 orange

1. Place all ingredients in a pot and slowly bring to a simmer over a low flame. Do not boil. Cover and let steep on a very low flame for about 15 minutes.
2. Strain, ladle into mugs and serve.

There's also mixes you can get, but I prefer just boiling it from scratch. Both are relatively simple for the result but I like making it from scratch better. The mix isn't bad though, I got it from Ikea. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I think we all know what this beverage is more popularly referred to as, but I think in keeping with Season 3 it would be more appropriate to rename it a "Bloody Henry" Other ideas for name substitues are fine too! ;)

Ingredients:
1.5 oz Smirnoff® vodka No.21
3 oz bloody mary mix
1 celery
1 pinch peppers
1 pinch salt

Fill Glass with ice. Add Smirnoff No.21 Vodka and Bloody Mary mix. Stir well. Garnish with salt, pepper and celery stalk.

Oh wow, I never made the connection between the drink Bloody Mary and Mary Tudor! And my Mom used to love those...

I feel so silly now for never getting that. =) Do you find this valuable?
