Gluehwein (German Hot Wine Punch) image

This hot spiced wine punch is a staple at the Christmas festivites in Germany. Everywhere you go during the month of December, you will most likely find someone selling mugs of hot, steaming Gluehwein. Here is a version I adapted from "Authentic German Home-Style Recipes" by Gini Youngkrantz. Posted by request. I am guessing on the cook time - it should be just until hot, but NOT boiling.

1 (24 ounce) bottle red german wine
1 cup water
1 whole cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Mix everything together in a large saucepan and heat until hot but NOT boiling.
  • Boiling it will ruin the Gluehwein, so be careful to not set your heat to high.
  • You can pour this into a crockpot on LOW heat and serve warm.
