One of our fondest memories of the Thanksgiving we spent
together in New York was walking from our tiny West Village apartment
up to Macy’s to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade – in person!!
One of the best parts? The delicious mulled wine that accompanied us in
our trusty thermos!! :) We’ve been to many countries that have a version
of mulled wine - it’s called “Gluhwein” in Germany, “Glogg” in Sweden…
You get the drift – but by any name, it’s a fabulous Holiday treat, so we thought
we’d share our recipe with our lovely blog readers this Thanksgiving.
Enjoy!!
Mulled Wine
1 Bottle dry red wine (we used Meditrina {5} this time – a blend of pinot noir, syrah & zinfandel – yum!)
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
lemon peel & orange rind to taste – we use a few generous strips of each
Combine water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and citrus peel. Bring to a boil, and simmer for a minute or two,
then add wine and heat just until hot (over heat it and you’ll cook off the alcohol – which you definitely
don’t want to do!! ;) Pour through a strainer into cups & garnish with a cinnamon stick
and bit of citrus peel.
Oh, and at our house we love a piece of Swedish coffee bread alongside the mulled wine…
but that recipe’s a family secret!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
