I asked the vendor for the recipe, he didn't mention vanilla or sugar but included everything else in this recipe. A delightful Italian potion I've enjoyed here at home. Salute!-COLLAPSE
Vin brule is the name for this drink in Italy. We drink it all over Northern Italy this time of year.
@SwedishMeatballs,
Their ingredients list is correct. The literal translation isn't accurate to the definition. Think "mulled" not "burnt."
I think you mean "vin chaud", not "vin brûlé", the drink they serve in the winter in France and Germany. "Vin brûlé" translates to burnt wine... which I don't think is what you'd want to drink.
