Make your own Glühwein

Glühwein (mulled wine) is a very traditional German drink, especially during the Christmas celebrations and can be purchased throughout Germany. 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of a good dry red wine
• ½ cup water
• 3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 cloves
• 2 cardamom pods
• ½ lemon, sliced
• 1 star anise
• 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions:

1. Put into pot, bring to simmer, cover, and reduce heat to just below simmering and leave for about 1 hour. 
2. Strain out the spices. It's ready to use. 

Notes/Hints:

• If you want non-alcoholic Glühwein, just let it boil briefly to evaporate the alcohol. The Glühwein gives a really nice flavor to these cookies as well as their icing.
