If you have ever visited a Christmas Market in Germany - a Christkindlmarkt - you will have at least smelled the Glühwein being heated in large cauldron if not actually tasted it! I so love that they serve it to you in real mugs - not paper - and for about one Euro more you get to keep that mug as a souvenir!
I've tasted Glühwein at markets in Germany and here in Canada and thought it was time to make some of my own. Here is the recipe I use as a starting point - depending on the day I may add or subtract from this recipe sometimes throwing in some extra spices, sometimes using rock sugar rather than honey, sometimes using dried citrus rather than fresh.
Glühwein Recipe
Turn down the heat and add the wine and slowly bring the pot back to a low simmer. You don't want to boil the wine as that burns off the alcohol. Ladle the hot wine into mugs and garnish with an orange slice, maybe some cranberries or a cinnamon stick.
So now you have the Glühwein or Mulled Wine - it's a terrific hot drink on its own but consider taking it up a notch and create Feuerzangenbowle - or Fire Punch! Read more about Feuerzangenbowle here.
Holiday Cheer to you!
