Glühwein: German Spiced Mulled Wine

Ingredients

2 750ml bottles of a dry or semidry red wine

1 bottle of Cavit Riesling

3/4 cup coconut sugar

2 large navel oranges, cut into quarters

1 lemon, cut into quarters

3 cinnamon sticks

1/2 teaspoon whole allspice seeds

1/2 teaspoon whole cloves

1/2 teaspoon cardamom pods

Directions

1. In a large non-aluminum pot, combine the red wine, white wine, sugar, orange and lemon. Combine the cloves, allspice and cardamom pods, either in cheesecloth or a metal tea ball, and submerge in the wine.
2. Heat the pot over medium-low heat and cover for 15 minutes. Afterwards, scoop the orange and lemon pieces and squeeze out the juices into the pot and re-add the rinds to the pot. Let simmer for another 15 minutes.
3. After another 15 minutes of cooking on medium-low heat (30 minutes total), remove the cheesecloth spice bundle and reduce heat to the lowest possible simmer. Keep pot of Glühwein over this simmering heat until ready to serve.
