Gluhwein

By Sean Paajanen, About.com

A holiday favorite, mulled tea with red wine. A bit of spicy cloves and cinnamon make this a very sophisticated hot tea cocktail. An alternative to mulled cider.

Ingredients:

  • 250 ml strong tea
  • 75 ml sugar
  • 500 ml red wine
  • 5 ml ground cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Rind of 1 lemon

Preparation:

Boil the tea, lemon rind, sugar, cinnamon and cloves together until the sugar dissolves. Add the red wine and bring to a boil. Strain out cinnamon stick and the rind. You may need to add more sugar, to taste. Serve with a slice of lemon.
