Mulled Wine Recipe (German Glühwein)

Mulled wine is a traditional drink at Christmas markets in Germany and Austria. This alcoholic punch keeps people warm from the inside as they walk through the idyllic Christmas markets. Instead of serving a ready-made Glühwein, prepare this quick and easy mulled wine recipe with anise, clove, orange and cinnamon. The mulled wine isn't just perfect for the Christmas and Advent season, it's perfect for the complete cold and shivering winter season.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups 1 liter Red wine, dry
  • 2 Orange s, juicy, sliced
  • 2 Orange s, juicy, squeezed out
  • 7 Cloves whole
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks whole
  • 1 Star anise whole
  • 2 tablespoons of maple syrup

Instructions

  • Take a sufficiently large stainless steel pot and add all the ingredients. Now heat the drink to no more than 172 °F (78 ° C). Under no circumstances should the mulled wine boil. Not only do you lose a portion of the alcohol, the taste of the spices also changes and it can be bitter.
  • It is enough if you set up the mulled wine 20 minutes before your guests arrive. That's enough to let it infuse.
