GLUEHWEIN



Gluehwein image

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.

Categories     Beverages

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups apple juice
2 cups black tea
2 tablespoons sugar
1 lemon
1 orange
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves

Steps:

  • Slowly heat the apple juice and tea in a pan.
  • Squeeze the juice from the lemon and orange, keeping the peels.
  • Add the lemon and orange juices, sugar, peels, and spices to the pan and heat without boiling (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Carefully strain the mixture through a sieve and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Wine: Select a red wine with a robust flavor, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Shiraz. Avoid wines that are too tannic or acidic.
  • Simmer, Don't Boil: Bring the wine to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Do not let the wine boil, as this will cause the alcohol to evaporate and ruin the flavor.
  • Add Spices Gradually: Start with a small amount of spices and adjust to taste. Common spices used in mulled wine include cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Use Fresh Citrus: The zest and juice of oranges and lemons add a bright, citrusy flavor to mulled wine. Be sure to use unwaxed citrus fruits.
  • Sweeten to Taste: Add honey, sugar, or another sweetener to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Garnish with Style: A cinnamon stick, orange slice, or star anise pod makes a beautiful garnish for mulled wine.

Conclusion:

Mulled wine is a warm, comforting, and festive drink that is perfect for the holiday season. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious mulled wine that your friends and family will love. So gather your ingredients, put on some holiday music, and enjoy the process of making this classic winter beverage.
