Glühwein in the German Language is called "Mulled wine" in the English Language.
It is hot red wine boilt with spices and honey. It is a traditional drink during winter, and especially around Christmas, to warm up.
I personally prefer Glühwein in Switzerland. I find Glühwein in Denmark is too strong and thus it is bitter; whereas Glühwein in France is too sweet for me (Perhaps it is because French people like desserts?).
Ingredients:
1 bottle of dry red wine (750 ml)
one lemon
2 sticks of cinnamon
3 cloves
3 tablespoons of sugar
some cardamom (or ginger)
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.
