Gluwein is a winter treat and a great way to endure the tortures of the Holiday Season. My family serves this and it's such a simple recipe, but so perfect on a cold night.
You need:
-1 bottle of cheap red wine
-1 orangle, sliced in rounds
-2 cloves
-4 bay leaves
-5 black pepper corns
-1 pinch of cinnamon
-dash of port wine
-sugar to taste
Pour the wine into a pot and put the heat on low. Add all of your ingredients and let the mixture heat. DO NOT LET IT BOIL or else all of the alcohol evaporates and that's no fun, now is it? Once you see steam rising, you know the mixture is warm enough to serve.
No, I didn't do the photography for this page, but I wanted to express how bullshit it is that people actually feel the need to buy this easy mix. It's almost the same as buying margarita mix. Really?
You should add your own pics! Fresh oranges, a big pot, all that jazz....
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fantastic.
I'm going to make some when I get home for the holidays.
