How to Make Gluhwein Hot Wine

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the red wine, orange juice, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and orange zest.
  2. Gently heat the mixture over medium heat. Do not let it boil; maintain a gentle simmer.
  3. Once the sugar is dissolved and the spices have infused the wine (about 8-10 minutes), remove from heat.
  4. Strain the Gluhwein through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices.
  5. Serve immediately in heat-resistant mugs, garnished with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick (optional).
