like warm milk to a kitten.


red wine is oxygen. boxed red wine is uni student oxygen. the concept of mulled wine seemed to me something slightly out of reach, reserved only for those bundled up like kittens in the heart of europe. but oh contraire, oh contraire. Gluhwein is an inexpensive, warm and fuzzy alcoholic beverage.

Gluhwein.
'a sophisticated hot tea cocktail' - ha.

Ingredients:
250 ml strong tea
75 ml sugar
500 ml red wine
5 ml ground cloves
1 cinnamon stick - we used ground cinnamon
Rind of 1 lemon - and lemon juice

Boil the tea, lemon rind, sugar, cinnamon and cloves together until the sugar dissolves.
Add the red wine and bring to a boil.
Strain out cinnamon stick and the rind.

it has been a long time since consuming anything with the words 'sophisticated' or 'cocktail' in its description.
