INSTRUCTIONS
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from a medium orange in wide strips, taking care to avoid the white pith; set aside.
Heat 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot, but do not bring to a boil.
Add glühwein kit and stir until sugar is fully dissolved.
Lower heat to medium-low.
Add the orange peel. You can add juice from the orange but it is optional.
Reduce heat to a simmer.
Add 1 bottle (750ml) of red wine. Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah/Shiraz, or Grenache work best.
Simmer for 20 min. If you are not serving within 30 minutes, remove from heat and cover the pan and let sit until serving.
When ready, pour into mug or heat-appropriate cup. Top with a splash of rum or amaretto.
If you bought a double bag, use 2 cups of water and 2 orange peels. You can save the hard spices and use again!
