Mulled Red Wine

By Andrew Zimmern

Gluhwein, or spiced mulled wine, is a popular warming beverage served at European Christmas markets. A German tradition, the very smell of gluhwein will put you in the holiday spirit, as the cinnamon, clove, ginger and orange fragrance wafts through your kitchen. It’s an easy and festive drink to make for any holiday gathering. If you have a big crowd, double or triple the recipe.
