This recipe makes Glühwein, also known as mulled wine, a popular beverage found at European Christmas markets, optimized for flavor.
1-4 servings for 1 liter of Glühwein
300 ml Cassis-Juice (Johannesbeer), if you can’t find it you can replace it with another juice, I did it e.g. with cranberry pomegranate juice
1 bottle 700ml red wine (I prefer Primitivo/Zinfandel), don’t buy a cheap cooking wine, you want to drink it :)
50 g Sugar
25 g Raisins
1 orange
1 cinamon bark
1 spoon ginger powder (or a bit of fresh ginger)
1 spoon cloves
5 star anise
if you don’t have the spices you can also just throw in sweet cinamon tea bags instead (or similar), they contain most spices - I took 6 teabags for 1 litre
cut the orange in nice looking pieces (since they are mainly decoration)
throw everything in a pot
warm up (don’t boil)
enjoy
