I love this time of year and all of the festive food, drinks, and activities available. Europe is known for their amazing Christmas markets. It’s like a winter wonderland for people of all ages. And of course where theres food, there’s drink. You’ll be hard pressed to find a Christmas market with no mulled wine, also known as ‘gluhwein’ (pronounced ‘glue wine’) in German-speaking countries.
This easy recipe can be whipped up in about 20 minutes. Transport yourself to Europe with this spiced wine and be sure to send me a postcard!
Ingredients:
-
Bottle of your favorite red wine (I used Syrah)
-
4 cups Apple Cider
-
2 oranges
-
4 star anise
-
4 cinnamon sticks
-
4 whole cloves
-
1/4 cup honey
Instructions:
-
Pour the bottle of wine into your crock pot or slow cooker. Do not turn on yet.
-
Add all ingredients except the oranges.
-
Add the zest of 1/4 an orange to the pot.
-
Cut the orange into slices (about 6-8) and add them to the pot.
-
Turn the pot on low/medium for about 20 minutes to heat. Stir occasionally.
-
Pour in insulated mugs and enjoy! (You can filter the wine before enjoying if you don’t want the zest or other ingredients in your glasses.)
