Gluhwein
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe book at www.dorothymcnett.com. A favorite recipe from Peter Buemann. Peter recommends this to be served with Aebleskiver. He informs us that gluhwein is sold throughout Germany and Austria when the weather gets cold and every ski lodge in the Alps offer it. "I think it is far better than the Glock that my fellow Scandinavians drink" he says. Enjoy with your next batch of aebleskiver!
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick of cinnamon
2 whole cloves
juice of 2 lemons
1 bottle of light red wine
Bring water, sugar, and spices to a full boil in a casserole. Add lemon juice and red wine and bring it right up to the boiling point. Don't let it boil as the alcohol will evaporate. Add more lemon juice or sugar according to your personal taste. Remove the cinnamon and cloves. Keep casserole on the stove at low setting. Serve in a mug piping hot.
