Glühwein

1 bottle Zinfandel

2 medium oranges, zested and juiced

1 lemon, zested and juiced

3 whole cloves

3-4 cinnamon sticks

1/2 teaspoon cardamom

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar, adjust to taste

Slowly hear the wine being careful to not bring it to a boil. Remove the zest from the oranges and the lemon. Add the citrus juices and zest to the wine along with the spices and sugar. Simmer for five minutes and then let the mixture stand for an hour.

Strain the mixture and then reheat to serve. Garnish the cup of Glühwein with a half slice of orange or a twist of lemon....and a cinnamon stick, just for fun!
