Mulled wine from dry red wine is the famous traditional warming drink of European Christmas cuisine, most often made at home in winter to warm up on a cold frosty evening by the fireplace or after a long walk. In recent years mulled wine (Glühwein) has gained incredible popularity far beyond its historic homelands (Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic) and has become an essential attribute of Christmas markets and festive gatherings around the world. The main ingredients are a quality dry red wine, fragrant spices (cinnamon, cloves, star anise, nutmeg), citrus fruits (orange, lemon) and sugar or honey to taste. In a pot combine the wine, slices of orange and lemon, spices and sugar. Warm over low heat to 70-80°C (160-175°F), never letting it come to a boil — otherwise the alcohol will evaporate. Proportions for 1 liter of wine inside.
