Ingredients

750 ml rode wijn (Montepulciano of Garnacha)
3 - 4 sinaasappelschijfjes
2 kaneelstokken
4 kruidnagels
2 steranijs
2 el rietsuiker of honing
50 ml rum of cognac

Cook Time

1

Pour the wine, orange slices and all spices into a large saucepan.
2

Heat everything on low heat. Let the wine warm gently to about 70°C: warm enough to release the aromas, but not boiling, because at higher temperatures the alcohol evaporates and the flavors become flat.
3

Add the sugar or honey and stir until completely dissolved.
4

Let the glühwein steep for 10 minutes on the lowest heat, without boiling.
5

Pour through a sieve into preheated glasses or mugs. Optionally place a fresh orange slice in the glass as a finishing touch.
