And what is Christmas without a glass of&nbs p\;GLÜ\;HWEIN?!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup of sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
6 &ndash\; 8 cloves
1 small, sliced lemon
1 750ml bottle of red wine
\ ;
A note on the lemon &ndash\; you can either slice it lengthwise into wedges or slice it crosswise. \; If using for taste, go for the former. \; If usi ng for looks, go for the latter. Oranges can also be substituted or added to the lemon.
Experiment with adding 2 juniper berries, a few grating s of nutmeg, 3 cardamon pods or 1 star anise.
Pour the wine into a medium sauce pan an d then add all the ingredients. Set the burner to low and let the flavours blend. \; Stir it once or twice to make sure the sugar is dissolved.& nbsp\;
The m ost important thing to know about making a mulled wine is to make sure not to bring it to a boil, instead, heat it low and slow. \; Boiling it, will remove most of the alcohol and what fun would that be? \;
