Glühwein

Glühwein, literally "glowing wine," is an essential part of holiday cheer and a highlight at every Christmas market in Germany. The seasonal treat is easy to make: Simply heat up red wine, add some cinnamon, cloves, lemon and orange peels and a touch of anise. Then enjoy together with Lebkuchen (see next week's Word of the Week). But be careful, the stuff tends to go straight to your head, so don't say we didn't warn you.
