German Holiday Drink,

This is a recipe I got from my German friend, Julie. It's very nice to sip on a cold evening...this will warm you right up! Pronounced "gloo-vine", though my boyfriend and I started jokingly calling it "Glooberwine" last year and it stuck :)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 liter(s) bottle of red wine (i use merlot)
4 to 5 - cinnamon sticks
10 - whole cloves
1 - tangerine or mandarin orange (zest and juice)
1 - lemon (zest)
1 cup(s) sugar

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and heat slowly over low heat until steaming hot. *BUT DON'T LET IT COME TO A BOIL, OR THE ALCOHOL WILL COOK OUT, AND THAT'S NO FUN!*
  • Continue to heat slowly so the flavors can mingle and infuse the wine.
  • When ready to drink, strain the heated wine into a large pitcher, pour into coffee mugs.
  • If you don't have a zester, you can put slices of the lemon and orange in the mix instead.
