    Easy German Mulled Wine Recipe

    From the blogger: "Glühwein, as it’s called in German, is a staple – not to mention beloved – hot beverage during the winter festive season in Germany. What exactly is Glühwein? It’s a hot wine drink simmered with mulled wine spices like cinnamon, star aniseed, cloves, and other warm spices. You’ll find this traditional drink at every German Christmas market in December because it’s the perfect warming drink when you’re spending time outdoors in the winter season. Germany can be cold in the winter and German Glühwein is everywhere so it’s a tasty way to warm up. Making German Mulled Wine (aka Glühwein in German) is a delicious way to add a German tradition to your Christmas holidays! It’s super easy to make, mostly hands off, and perfect for both holiday parties or a cozy night in. "
