GLUEHWEIN (GERMAN HOT WINE PUNCH)
This hot spiced wine punch is a staple at the Christmas festivites in Germany. Everywhere you go during the month of December, you will most likely find someone selling mugs of hot, steaming Gluehwein. Here is a version I adapted from "Authentic German Home-Style Recipes" by Gini Youngkrantz. Posted by request. I am guessing on the cook time - it should be just until hot, but NOT boiling.

GLUEHWEIN
Gluehwein is a German/Austrian winter-holiday drink that most tourists know as an after-ski drink. After you come in out of the snow, it is supposed to make you glow with warmth again. Watch it: Since you drink this wine warm, the alcohol goes to your head extra quick! Drink when you really have come in, and do not have to go out again! This is the one my father used to make for New Year's Eve.

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.)

Tips:
- Choose a good quality red wine. A full-bodied red wine with a fruity flavor will work best for this recipe.
- Use fresh spices. Fresh spices will give your Glühwein a more intense flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use dried spices, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't boil the wine. Boiling the wine will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor. Heat the wine slowly over low heat until it just barely simmers.
- Let the wine steep for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the spices to infuse the wine with their flavor.
- Serve the wine hot. Glühwein is best served hot, so be sure to heat it up before serving.
Conclusion:
Glühwein is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for enjoying during the winter months. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your Glühwein sweet, tart, or spicy, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting drink, give Glühwein a try. You won't be disappointed!
