Here is my recipe for Glühwein, hot spiced red wine with orange. Warm Glühwein with the loveliest flavour of orange and Christmas spices is a true ski holiday classic and a must to keep you warm at a cosy Christmas market. It is super easy to make: you simply heat the red wine with spices and citrus fruits. It is a lovely alternative to Scandinavian mulled wine (gløgg), and it goes perfectly with æbleskiver, Christmas cookies and sweets.
Glühwein is less sweet than gløgg, and I like it when it tastes a lot of citrus, which is why I use both orange and lemon in this recipe. Because Glühwein is less sweet, you can also serve it with a few savoury snacks, if you need something proper to eat before the sweet treats come out. And of course, you decide whether to sweeten your Glühwein with a little extra honey or sugar. Enjoy!

Ingredients
Instructions
Glühwein
Put the red wine, spices, sliced ginger, orange juice and zest, and lemon juice and zest in a small pan. Heat slowly until it reaches boiling point, then turn off the heat. Let the Glühwein infuse for at least 1 hour, preferably a little longer.
Reheat the Glühwein and add the honey and cane sugar. Stir and add a little more honey or sugar to taste if you like. Strain the Glühwein into a jug, pour it into warm glasses and decorate with an orange slice. Enjoy!
