Glühwein
1 bottle inexpensive red wine (750 ml)
2 cups orange juice
3 cinnamon sticks (or 2 teaspoons cinnamon)
½ teaspoon cardamom
3 tablespoons sugar (add more to taste, if necessary)
The key to glühwein is to let it steep so the flavors mingle. Put everything into a pot and heat, but do not bring to a boil. Stir occasionally. Let steep at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Feel free to add what you like and have on hand. It’s an evolving recipe that changes!
