Recipe Introduction


Pronounced "glue-vine", this German and Austrian favorite is hot spiced wine. We like it on cold wintery days, and especially for Christmas. It was invented in the ski lodges of the Alps long ago.


List of Ingredients




2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick of cinnamon
2 whole cloves
juice of 2 lemons
1 bottle of light red wine



Recipe



Bring water, sugar, and spices to a full boil in a casserole. Add lemon juice and red wine and bring it right up to the boiling point. Don't let it boil as the alcohol will evaporate. Add more lemon juice or sugar according to your personal taste. Typically, the cheaper the wine used, the more sugar is called for! And don't be afraid to use really cheap wine.

Remove the cinnamon and cloves. Keep casserole on the stove at low setting. Serve in a mug piping hot.
