Jodi’s Gluhwein Recipe

Posted by Chris on January 22, 2008

This one caught my attention because the post reminds me of a friend of mine who used to try to mimic recipes he’d tasted before. He is not a chef or anything - just liked trying it.

Jodi’s gluhwein recipe on Jodijalanna looks pretty good. She was given some spiced red wine and liked it so much she decided to make it herself so after a few attempts, she came up with something she is pretty happy with. The brown sugar sounds really good - that’s something we have never tried for some reason. It just makes sense, too. Here’s her recipe.

So this is the ingredient list/measurements, and directions:

Ingredients:
1 bottle of red or white wine
12 oz of water
1/2 cup of brown sugar

1 Bag or Tied Cheese Cloth of :
Cinnamon Sticks (about 1 stick) .20 oz
Dried Orange Peel .35 oz
Whole All Spice .15 oz
Whole Cloves (about 18) .01 oz
OTHER .15 oz (this was bites and pieces remaining on my wax paper after measuring the above)
NOTE: My package had a floating cork on top, but I doubt that is necessary!

Directions:
Put wine, water, sugar and spice bag in pan or crock pot and let simmer slowly, do not boil, “for at least one hour - the longer the better.”

Try it and make sure to raise your mug to Jodi while you drink it.
