Number Of Ingredients 9

1 each medium organic orange
20 each whole cloves (give or take a few cloves - no need to be exact)
750 ml light red wine (1 bottle, on the drier/lighter side is better. We love Pinot Noir, Lemburger or Merlot can also work)
3 each (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
5 each strips lemon peel (about 2 inches long each, just use a carrot peeler and try to avoid including too much pith)
1/4 cup sugar (start with 1/4 cup and add to taste up to 2/3 cup)
1/3 cup brandy
Cinnamon sticks
Orange slices

Steps:

  • Using a toothpick, poke 20 holes all over your orange, then poke the cloves into the holes.
  • Add orange to a medium saucepan. Pour the wine into the pan. Add the cinnamon sticks, lemon peel, and 1/3 cup sugar. Stir gently to help dissolve the sugar.
  • Turn the heat on medium-low and heat until just below a simmer. Do not boil! Reduce heat to low - just enough to keep warm but again, not simmering or boiling. Cover and let warm over the heat for about 20 minutes, until hot wine is flavored by the spices.
  • Stir in the brandy. Taste and add more sugar if desired. Depending on your wine and tastes, you may only need the intial 1/4 cup of sugar, or you may need the entire 2/3 cup.
  • Ladle into three large or four smaller mugs, garnish if desired, pass 'em out and and inhale your Glühwein goodness.
