Mulled Wine

Mulled wine is traditional at a German Christmas celebration. In the sorry age of salmonella, we find this a nice substitute for eggnog.

• 4 cups red wine (burgundy or claret)
• 1/2 cup water
• Peel of one orange
• Peel of one lemon
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 6 cloves
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (to taste)

METHOD

Put all ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan. Simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes.

Strain through a sieve.

Serve while hot.

Serves: About 10 - 12
