Glühwein - mulled wine

A recipe for Glühwein/mulled wine a beverage you can find at almost every European christmas market. This recipe is my favorite one - optimized for flavor rather than alcohol content (it still kicks in).

- 🍽️ Servings:1-4

Ingredients

for 1 liter of Glühwein

- 300 ml Cassis-Juice (Johannesbeer), if you can't find it you can replace it with another juice, I did it e.g. with cranberry pomegranate juice

- 1 bottle 700ml red wine (I prefer Primitivo/Zinfandel), don't buy a cheap cooking wine, you want to drink it :)

- 50 g Sugar

- 25 g Raisins

- 1 orange

- 1 cinamon bark

- 1 spoon ginger powder (or a bit of fresh ginger)

- 1 spoon cloves

- 5 star anise

- if you don't have the spices you can also just throw in sweet cinamon tea bags instead (or similar), they contain most spices - I took 6 teabags for 1 litre

Directions

1. cut the orange in nice looking pieces (since they are mainly decoration)

2. throw everything in a pot

3. warm up (don't boil)

4. enjoy
