It’s That Simple is our series about recipes so easy, you can make them with your eyes closed. Think tiny ingredient lists, laid-back techniques, and results so delicious you’ll text home about them.

An ice cream sundae is a beautiful blank canvas, and anything in your pantry or fridge can become the add-ons that make it shine. While hot fudge and caramel sauce usually take center stage, might we suggest a new favorite drizzle? Red wine syrup. It can be made with any bottle of red vino you have on hand, leftovers included. When cooked down with sugar, allspice, and cloves, the mixture will reduce and mimic the warming flavors of mulled wine.
