Glühwein Recipe (German Mulled Wine)

We have spoken about how important is for you to also know how to cook. It’s not something absolutely essential, but it’s always a great skill to have in hand. In the end, it’s one more reason for girls to feel more attracted to you. And guys, it’s easy!

In the past we have covered various recipes, including my very own pick for the Chocolate Bomb and Tiramisu. This time, the idea is to show you something not so common but really charming: The German Glühwein. The idea behind this it’s simple: it’s a hot and sweet red wine with one special taste. Delicious and great to drink with friends or girls, especially in you are in the winter season. I really recommend you to prepare it and experience the taste of this centuries-old drink!

It’s one of the easiest recipes I’ll ever give you. The ingredients you’ll need are:

1 bottle of dry red wine (if it’s Argentinean wine, better!)
1/3 of a cup of sugar (if you like it more sweet, just add more sugar)
2 cinnamon sticks
4 cloves
Natural orange and lemon juice

Once you got the ingredients with you, the instructions are easy. All you got to do is pour the wine in a pot and throw all the ingredients in, except the orange and lemon juices. Stir and make them all mix together. Place the pot over a weak fire and let the wine get warmer really slowly. You got to leave it at least for thirty minutes and the wine should never be actually boiling. Imagine as if you were preparing the water for a very hot tea or coffee – it has to be that hot in the end.

Once it’s done, take out the cinnamon and the cloves and pour, at your taste, some orange or lemon juice. Now you are done and free to enjoy this wonderful drink! Serve it in tea cups and don’t let it get cold – It’s good as long as it’s warm!
