Bishop’s Wine (Bisschopswijn)

Posted by Chris on April 17, 2008

This sweet recipe with the Super-Dutch name is , well, Dutch and is as simple as it gets with only five ingredients - count ‘em and enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 orange
  • 8 whole cloves

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large saucepan on medium-low heat, combine wine. sugar and cinnamon. Cut the orange in half, push the cloves into the outside of the orange halves, and place them into the wine.
  2. Heat SLOWLY on LOW heat for about 30 minutes or until steaming. Do not let it boil. Heat your glasses in warm water before serving.

Use the shortest recipe you can find but it still takes way longer to make it than using Jodlers Gluhwein Mix, which allows you to make mulled wine in under a minute. I just had to throw that in. :)
