German Christmas Gluhwein - With A Twist



Here is my quick and easy recipe for a spiced up version of Gluhwein, generally found in German markets around christmas. In this version, warm up some red wine, or in this case, I managed to find some german mulled wine already. To make the mulled wine, add some spices, such as cinammon or orange peel.

Do not boil the wine as this will ruin the alcohol (the best bit)

Serve up the warm wine into a suitable mug or glas. Then grab yourself some amaretto / disaronno, and pour in a generous sized shot (50ml is about enough)

Now sit back and enjoy as it warms you up from inside.

A big thanks to the wonderful city of Amsterdam and the Wintermarkt where I discovered this!

Merry Christmas!
