Steps:

• Pour the wine into a large pot and set over medium heat. Let it warm up until steam rises from the surface, but do not allow it to boil. Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, lemon juice and sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Float the orange slices on the surface. Warm over medium heat for another 5 minutes, being careful not to let it come to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for 1 hour.

GLüHWEIN (GERMAN MULLED WINE)

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients (except the orange garnishes) into a pot or large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a light simmer. Cover and reduce the heat to keep it just barely at a simmer. Simmer for 1 hour.
• After simmering, turn off the heat and let the wine continue to steep for 30 minutes. (At this point you can take a small spoonful and taste your Glühwein. If it needs more sugar for your tastes, go ahead a mix some in!)
• Remove the cloves and cinnamon stick.
• Serve the mulled wine warm with an orange slice garnish, if desired.

GLüHWEIN - GERMAN MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Add the red wine, sugar, and sliced orange into a large pot and place it on the stovetop. If using, also add lemon slices, water, juice, and/or brandy to the pot.
• Place whole cloves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, allspice, and star anise into a piece of cheesecloth and tie it shut with kitchen string. You can also add the whole spices to the pot loose and filter out before serving or storing.
• Heat wine and spices slowly on the stove on a low setting or simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Boiling can cause the alcohol to evaporate and the flavor to become too strong or worse, bitter. However, the longer you heat the wine, the more the fruit and spices will steep into the wine. Typically, I like to simmer for at least 20-30 minutes before serving.
• Remove the bundle of spices, or strain to remove loose spices before serving.
• Serve in mugs or heatproof glasses. If you'd like, add a cinnamon stick, star anise, orange slice, or lemon slice for garnish.

• Bring to a boil and add the cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks (split in half), and freshly grated nutmeg.
• Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create a delicious base or syrup for mulled wine.
• Pour the red wine into the pot. Stir and bring to a hot temperature until almost boiling. At this moment turn off the stove and let it rest for a moment to let the wine "soak up" all the wonderful aromas.
• Strain through a sieve, pour into a cup and enjoy the best mulled wine in the comfort of your home!
