Gluhwein Hot Wine Recipes

GLUEHWEIN

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer.
• Cut the orange in half, and squeeze the juice into the simmering water. Push the cloves into the outside of the orange peel, and place peel in the simmering water. Continue simmering for 30 minutes, until thick and syrupy.
• Pour in the wine, and heat until steaming but not simmering. Remove the clove-studded orange halves. Serve hot in mugs or glasses that have been preheated in warm water (cold glasses will break.)

GLüHWEIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash your orange well to get rid of impurities, pat dry and cut into thick slices.
• Poke cloves into orange slices. This is to prevent the spices to fall into the mulled wine, and it will be easier to collect them afterward. Besides, it looks great too.
• Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scratch out and collect the vanilla bean seeds.
• Pour wine into a saucepan with the water and heat up gradually.
• Place orange slices with cloves into the pan. Also add the vanilla bean with scratched out seeds, cinnamon stick, anise and nutmeg
• Keep on slow heat (it should never boil!) and cover the pot for 15-20 minutes. You can keep the mulled wine to infuse away from the heat if you like.
• Take out all the spices and orange slices. You can strain the mulled wine too if you don't want the fruit pulp in it.
• Make sure your mulled wine is kept on a steady heat. Sweeten your gluhwein to your liking and serve hot.
