      Title: GLUEHWEIN
 Categories: Beverages, German, Alcohol
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
     60 g  Sugar
    1/2    Cinnamon stick
      4    Cloves
           Peel of 1/2 lemon
    1/8 l  Water
      1 l  Red wine
           Juice of 1/2 - 1 lemon
 
  Put cinnamon, cloves and lemon peel in a paper tea filter; tie it
  shut with a piece of white yarn. Together with the water and the
  sugar, bring it to a boil in a pot, let sit for 20 minutes. Take out
  the tea filter, add the red wine and heat. The art is to heat the
  wine up as close to its boiling temperature without ever getting it
  to boil (the most important thing about making gluehwein is that the
  wine must NEVER boil). Finally, add lemon juice to taste.
  
  Possible variations: ~ leave away the lemon juice or use orange juice
  instead ~ leave away the lemon peel ~ instead of boiling the tea
  filter, put it directly into the wine, heat,
    and let soak for 30 - 45 minutes (you don't need the water this
  way); if
    you chop up the ingredients before putting them in the filter, you
  get a
    more intensive flavor ~ add a few drops of vanilla ~ add a little
  cardamom and/or ginger ~ vary the quantities of cinnamon, cloves and
  sugar ~ to get the possibly most famous type of gluehwein, the
  Nuernberger
    Christkindlesmarkt-Gluehwein, use blueberry wine instead of red wine
