How to Make Gluehwein Gluhwein

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cinnamon stick.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently.
  3. While the mixture simmers, cut one orange in half and squeeze the juice into the saucepan.
  4. Stud the orange peels with 6 whole cloves. Add the studded orange peels to the saucepan.
  5. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes syrupy.
  6. Carefully pour in 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine. Heat gently until steaming, but do not let it simmer or boil. Avoid boiling as it can cook off the alcohol and alter the flavor.
  7. Remove the clove-studded orange halves from the saucepan.
  8. Serve immediately in pre-warmed mugs or glasses for an extra cozy experience.
  9. Garnish with an orange slice and cinnamon stick (optional)
