I received this recipe from my dear friend Diana and it is now my go-to mulled wine recipe (Glühwii is Swiss for Glühwein, which is the German word for mulled wine). It is full of flavours and makes your home smell like your personal, cozy Christmas market. Enjoy!*Picture courtesy of standard.co.uk. To be replaced with my own soon!
Ingredients
- 3 bottles Red wine I found Primitivo di Manduria to be perfect for it. Otherwise Pinot Noir should be good for it as well.
- 200 g Sugar If you like it very sweet, make it 250g
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 7 cloves
- 6 pieces star anise
- pinch ground nutmeg
- 2 oranges
- 1 lemon
- 1 apple
Instructions
- Peel the oranges and lemon (make sure to get mostly the rind, but as little of the white part as possible). Cut the flesh of one orange into slices ( just flesh, none of the skin). Slice the apple, with the skin.
- Put everything in a pot and warm it up for 15 minutes (do not boil it). Then let it rest for one hour.
- Warm it again for 15 min, again without letting it boil. Ready!
