Glühwein (Mulled Wine)

Something to losen (or loose) your mind ...

Ingredients:
Wine:
This is the most important ingredient. You need to find one, that has a clear own caracter without being to dominant and not being to dry (but it should have grape-sweetness, not added sugar !). This does not have to be an expensive one, our favorites are in a price range of 4-6 €.

Spices:
Eighter pick a good mix of original spices (tea-bag-style will never do the job) or mix
   - 4 star anis
   - 2 sticks cinamon
   - 8 cloves
   - 3-4 cardamon
per 0,75-liter wine.

Others:
1 Orange
1 lemon

Procedure:
* Heat the red wine (never boil it !)
* add the spices
* add about one orange and one lemon
* add about 2-3 tablespoon of honey (depending of the wine. You need to try it !)

Heat it right below the boiling point, slightly stiring ...

(The spices need to be taken out after 5-7 Min, otherwise the wine will be dominated by the spices !)
