Gluvine

October 23, 2010 By Delia

As if a bottle of red didn’t taste good enough on a cool Autumn Evening, try it in this traditional German style. Warm, with such a wide infusion of flavours and smells, served in warmed mugs. A very simple, easy to make drink, which is an immediate favourite at many parties as something different.

Hugely popular at many German Christmas Markets, where you see huge kettles constantly being served from the ornately decorated Stalls.

Serves 6 people

Bottle of German Red Wine

250ml Water

Juice of 1 Lemon (or orange)

1 Cinnamon stick

Cloves

1.       Pour the water and wine into a large pan, and start to heat

2.       Add the cloves, cinnamon and lemon slowly and to taste, making sure the pan doesn’t boil.

3.       Remove the Cinnamon stick and cloves before serving.

4.       Ladle into mugs and serve hot.
