There's nothing like Gluewein for getting into the winter spirit. In England we call it mulled wine but my first taste was in Switzerland in my early twenties. It all tastes good!
Serves 10-15
10 cups claret
juice of 3 lemons
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 tsp cloves (I use whole cloves and stud them in citrus fruit)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3/4 cup (5-6oz) brown sugar
2 sliced lemons
4 cups lemonade, optional
(you can substitute oranges instead of lemons if you prefer)
Mix all ingredients together in a wine bowl and heat gently. Serve very hot, not boiling. Add lemonade if used and reheat just before serving.
Easy isn't it? There's no excuse. I've just made a much smaller amount to use in a recipe for steak. The beauty of cooking (or drinking) is that you can alter everything to suit your own tastes, or what's in the cupboard ... so get off the internet and get mixing!
