This easy mulled wine recipe is the coziest and most delicious drink to help you warm up. I grew up with it at the German Christmas Markets, where it’s called Glühwein (glow wine). I have come up with an easy, yet traditional way to make it at home. All it takes is some wine, citrus, and spices.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle wine
  • 1 lemon (organic, cut into slices)
  • ½ orange (organic, peel only)
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 cardamom pod (or one pinch of ground cardamom)
  • rum or cognac (to add an optional shot right before serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour wine into a small pot and add the sliced lemon. Cover with a lid and heat over medium heat until just starting to boil. Turn off the heat.

  2. 2

    Stir in spices, sugar and orange peel, and steep with the lid on for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the fruit and spices and serve with an optional shot of rum or cognac. If wanting to keep warm, return to low heat.
