Recipe for Gluhwein (Traditional Mulled Wine)

vin-chaud

Gluhwein is a traditional spicy winter drink made from red wine, heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks, cloves, oranges and sugar.  It’s very easy to make and a must-have at all of our celebrations during the festive period.  If you’re in France at Christmas time, ask for vin chaud (hot wine).
