GLÜHWEIN a la Mid-Year-Crisis (1 litre)

Boil one litre water with a couple of bay leaves,

3-4 cloves, a cinnamon stick or two, the zest of ½

orange and ½ lemon (peel only - no whites!), some

brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like it).

Simmer all of this for ca. 10 minutes.

Then add 2 teabags, let steep for a while.

Remove teabags and everything else.

NOW you add the wine, I usually make it ½ wine ½ tea, but you can

make it stronger if you like.

Back on the stove for a moment, BUT NOT BOILING - or you will lose

the alcohol (alcohol evaporates at 78+ degrees Celsius).

Serve in hot mugs - slurping is allowed!! Prost Zäme!
