Non-Alcholic Gluhwein

Posted by Chris on July 28, 2008

I have seen this non-alcoholic gluhwein recipe on other blogs and sites but it does not make sense for me to leave it off of the Gluhwein.Net blog.  I will, however, put a spin on this recipe that will make it taste better.  The weird thing about the recipe is that it is not really a recipe.  I mean, the original version and my new version are only about using a mix and some juice. 

Ooops, I gave it away.  Here it is then - the revised version, anyway.

Ingredients:

* 2 Tbs gluhwein syrup mix to taste better
* 150 ml apple juice or grape juice

Directions:

Duh. Combine ingredients in glass bowl. Heat in microwave for approximately 30 seconds.
Make sure liquid does not boil.
Serve in ceramic mug.

I am not sure why boiling matters or doesn’t matter here. Can anyone tell me? With wine, you don’t want it to boil because you may lose some alcohol. With juice I, well, I just don’t know.
