Gluhwein

Gluhwein is a traditional German holiday drink made with red wine, spices, and citrus. It's served warm and is perfect for cold winter nights.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large pot, combine the wine, orange slices, lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and sugar.
Heat over low heat until hot, but not boiling.
Let the mixture simmer for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Strain the mixture to remove the spices and fruit slices.
Serve the gluhwein hot, garnished with a fresh orange slice and a cinnamon stick if desired.
