German Glühwein with Orange, Clove and Star Anise

What you need

• 750 ml (1 bottle) dry red wine
• 1 orange, unwaxed
• 1/2 lemon, unwaxed
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 6 whole cloves
• 2 star anise
• 3 tbsp sugar, or to taste

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Scrub the orange and lemon under hot water and cut both into thin rounds.

2. 2

   Press the cloves into the peel of a few orange rounds so they are easy to remove later.

3. 3

   Pour the wine into a saucepan and add the sugar, cinnamon, star anise and all the citrus.

4. 4

   Set over low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

5. 5

   Cover and hold just below a simmer for 20-30 min so the spices infuse. A few small bubbles at the edge are fine; a rolling boil drives off the alcohol and turns the spices harsh.

6. 6

   Taste and stir in a little more sugar if wanted.

7. 7

   Ladle through a sieve into heatproof glasses or mugs and add one warm orange round to each. Serve hot.
