Ingredients

Instructions

  • Just a handful of simple ingredients are needed to create this delicious nectar
  • Just set everything out on your work space and we'll be done in a jiffy.
  • Pour the wine and water into a good size sauce pan
  • Chop the Orange into small chunks. Half and juice the lemon and measure out the sugar.
  • Stir the sugar into the wine and water. Stir in the Lemon Juice
  • Add the Cinnamon Sticks and the Whole Cloves
  • Get the chopped Orange into the pot.
  • Bring the mixture almost to a boil, then turn it down and let simmer for 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the mixture just steep for about 45 minutes. Remove the Cinnamon Sticks and Cloves with a slotted spoon and that's it.
  • Best enjoyed on a cold winters eve at a German Christmas Market with a Bratwurst Semmel. But I'll tell you what. I am heading out right now on my Snow Shoes for some fresh air and exercise and when I come in, you better believe I will be enjoy a nice hot cup of Glühwein.
  • Thanks for stopping by today. Wherever your journey leads you on this winter day, I hope you are warm, happy and healthy!
  • Journey on!
  • Hugs and much love from me, Karen, TJG
