How do you choose your Christmas gifts...? (20)

Lifeisadream

I am sorry, I have been talking to people over the Blue Ocean about mulled wine, no one seems to know what I m talking about. And now you, even further away from me say YOU like mulled wine.

Life is filled with violets and surprises however I do not go by any recipie, I buy the wince at the liq.store, heat it, heat the almonds and peel the shell off...blend it with the raisins and...Voila!!!! My cheeks blossom within ten minutes.

I will try that Thanks!

What I do is:
Warm the red wine over low heat
Pour 1/2 orange juice
Drop a thin slice of the orange with peel
A bit of honey
Serve in a high glass with some ground Cinnamon on it.
(real cinnamon ground at my ex-mother-in-law place,
she still does it for me)

Two of those and to sleep as an angel I go.
(quasi an angel )

Have to go!

Thank you, sounds great and different, I sure will try it.

You better make sure you do not drink it early afternoon!

Yummy!

Oh, yes, almonds and raisins, beverage’s called Glögg, usually a dreadful drink, but the other day there’s a neighbour gathering at one of the neighbour’s and the hostess served it, an alcohol-free variation, and I’ve been surprised – it cán taste good after all.

Note to self: Ask how to prepare it!

But the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly – and thát’s most important thing during any circumstances if you ask me… Have experienced more than once that people look like they enjoy themselves without feeling it. There’s a kind of demand hanging in the air: “Sure, we’ve having fun, aren’t we?” and that enforced “delight” instantly kills all live in me. But our hostess was really great: no demands, no expectations – 2 wonderful hours of gossip and chit-chat. Don’t even remember the previous time when I felt as good as then.

Can I get drunk on glogg??? I'm too pissed to read the rest tuffy (you understand how it is)....So can I or can't ?

Here is a much better description for another (orangie) Mulled wine recipe.
1•Pour the wine into a nonreactive saucepan and place over low heat.

•2
Cut the zest off half an orange with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler so that only the orange part is removed. If some of the bitter white pith is still attached to the zest, cut it off and discard it.

•3
Lightly pound the pieces of zest with the back of a knife or a mallet to release the aromatic oils. Add the zest to the wine. Squeeze some juice in, too.

•4
Add the remaining ingredients.

•5
Stir occasionally. Do not let the wine come to a boil.

•6
When the wine begins to steam and is very hot, it is ready to serve. (a bit of honey is potional it will depend on the wine sweeteness)

•7
Shut off the heat and ladle the wine out into glasses, leaving the seasonings behind.
