Mulled Wine - Glühwein
Mulled wine is such a winter treat, whether on a Christmas market to warm up, on a ski hut whilst enjoying the view or during Sunday roast with family and friends. This is a bulletproof recipe for an incredibly flavourful mulled wine which is not too sweet. Make sure to use organic none-waxed oranges and lemons as the peel will be cooking with the wine for that great flavour.
Ingredients
For 10 glasses
2 bottles of red wine
500 ml orange juice
1 orange (plus optionally another orange for garnish)
1 lemon
1 cinnamon stick
4 aniseed
6 cloves
4 cardamom pods (or 1 tsp cardamom powder)
6 tbsp sugar
Method
Cut 1 organic orange into slices and peel the skin off 1 lemon.
In a large saucepan, pour in 2 bottles red wine, 500 ml orange juice, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 aniseed, 6 cloves and 4 cardamom pods and let simmer on low heat for at least 15 minutes. The wine should not be boiling at any point.
Stir in 6 tbsp sugar and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serve warm in heatproof mugs. You can add a slice of fresh orange to each glass to add extra flavour.
Enjoy!
