We discovered this wine a few years back while we were attending an outdoor Christmas Market in Chicago's Daley Plaza. While I am not wure if this is the exact recipe for that drink, I do know it is an excellent way to take the chill out of a cold day. It smells wonderful as it warms and tases wonderful as it goes down.
Hot Mulled Wine (Glühwein, "glow wine")
Ingredients (serves 2-3 persons)
•1 bottle of dry red wine (750 ml)
•one lemon
•2 sticks of cinnamon
•3 cloves
•3 tablespoons of sugar
•some cardamom (or ginger)
Directions
Heat the red wine in a pot (don't boil). Cut the lemon into slices and add to the wine. Then add the cinnamon, cloves, sugar and a little cardamom (to taste). Heat everything for about 5 minutes - do not boil - and let stand for about an hour. Before serving, reheat and strain. Serve in prewarmed glasses or mugs.
