I made some of this delicious drink myself. Hey and it wasn’t even that hard! I wonder if the alcohol boils out while cooking it? It might be good to know in case I have to drive somewhere after drinking a few cups full. Oh, wait - we don’t have a car! Sweet, i might have some more! Oh, and you can add a bit of port (100mls or so) makes it even nicer…
Glühwein - Hot Mulled Wine
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of dry red wine (750 ml)
- one lemon
- 2 sticks of cinnamon
- 3 cloves
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- some cardamom (or ginger)
Directions
Heat the red wine in a pot (don’t boil). Cut the lemon into slices and add to the wine. Then add the cinnamon, cloves, sugar and a little cardamom (to taste). Heat everything for about 5 minutes - do not boil - and let stand for about an hour. Before serving, reheat and strain. Serve in prewarmed glasses or mugs. Enjoy.
It smells so lovely and spicy while heating. Alisa made some one cold winters night. She had some spicers she bought back from Germany. We are having such beautiful summer weather which is not the right weather for hot wine. Lots of love to you all from Catherine (Mum Gran) xxxxxxxx
