Thank god for us that those two usually come together. You really should see the masses of people who are standing at a Hot Spiced Wine stand on a Christmas market(well usually there are also more than one of those stands). It's horrifying.
Thank god you can buy this stuff already ready in a grocery store, or even better, make it yourself. And it is so simple too.
For the Homemade Hot Spiced Wine you'll need:
4 cups+1/4 cups(1 Litre) Red Wine, dry
2 Cinnamon sticks
2-3 Star-anise
5-6 Cloves
2 Tbsp. Sugar, or more if you think the wine needs more
Oranges and Lemons, sliced, take as many as you like. I used 1 orange and 1/2 a lemon.
1. Por the wine into a pot. Add all the spices and the oranges and lemons. Let it heat up slowly, so that the spices can unfold all of their flavors. Do not bring to a boil, just make sure that it is hot. Also don't cover with a lid.
2. You can now either enjoy the Wine or let it cool and fill up bottles, to give away as a present or to stock it up so that you can reheat it whenever you want some.
It is really so easy to make, and now in time for Christmas it's perfect, to bring on the Christmas cheer.
XOXO Owlicious ;)
