Glühwein (German mulled wine) with tea
This Glühwein - traditional German mulled wine is a favourite at Christmas time and this recipe with tea is delicious and simple.
Ingredients
- 750 mL red wine
- 500 mL of boiling water
- 2-3 black tea bags
- 100 - 200 grams of raw cane sugar
- 1 lemon
- 1 orange
- 1 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 vanilla pod split lengthways
Instructions
- Boil the water and make tea with the tea bags.
- Peel off a large piece of rind from each and add to the tea. Juice the orange and the lemon and add the juice to the tea.
- Add the remaining ingredients and warm the mixture over low heat. Make sure you run the spoon over the bottom of the pan so that the sugar does not stick and burn. As a general rule: the slower the mixture warms, the better - the spices will work their magic and add flavour to the wine best at a lower temperature. Do not boil!
- Serve steaming, in mugs.
Notes
Which wine you use will depend on your personal preference. We recommend a dry or semi-dry red wine with low acidity content, few tannins and a wine that was not aged in oak (barriques). Use a wine that you have drunk before.
