This lovely mulled wine recipe is super easy to make, and will warm you down to your toes. Perfect for a cold winter night. -- The Nourishing Gourmet

By Chloe, of How We Flourish

Christmas here in Germany means two things: Christmas markets and Glühwein.

On a cold winter’s night, a warm mug of Glühwein (also called mulled wine) is the perfect companion. It conjures up cozy holiday feelings and will certainly instill the Christmas spirit in you!

In Germany, Glühwein is found everywhere you turn. But outside of a German restaurant, I have never actually seen Glühwein in America. When you want your own cup of this comforting winter drink (or don’t want to pay more than $2 for a mug), homemade Glühwein is actually very easy to make!

This simple Glühwein recipe is naturally sweetened and will make your kitchen smell lovely as it cooks. By using whole spices instead of seasoning packets, you know exactly what is going into your delicious homemade Glühwein. Enjoy! It goes particularly well with gingerbread cookies.

Note: I highly recommend using an organic lemon, since the whole peel will be cooked in the wine.

    My mom made gluwhein around Christmas when I was growing up. It made the house smell so good. Actually, it still happens, because she lives with me 🙂 I love your addition of cardamom! We will have to try that.
