When you come in from the cold and snow cozy up with this warm spiced “glow wine.” One will often see it in the Christmas markets in Germany and Austria. Enjoy!
3/4 cup water (some say this is optional)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
2 medium oranges, divided
10 whole cloves
1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine (Use dry red wine, such as Chianti or cabernet sauvignon.)
1. Bring the water, sugar, and cinnamon stick to a boil. Reduce the heat to low.
2. Cut an orange in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture.
3. Push the cloves into the outside of the orange peel. Place into the simmering
mixture.
4. Simmer until the mixture is thick and syrupy. Remove from heat.
5. Stir in the wine while the mixture is hot, but not simmering.
How to Serve Glühwein
Remove the cinnamon stick and orange peel, then ladle the Glühwein into stoneware mugs. Garnish with orange wedges. If you choose to serve the drink in glass mugs, make sure to heat them with hot water first so the glass doesn’t shatter.
