Happy Saint Nicholas Day! 🎅🏿
Mulled wine is a traditional drink during winter here in Germany, especially around Christmas. We call it Glühwein here, which translates to "glow wine" and refers to a mix of warmed up wine with mulling spices such as cinnamon, cloves, anise, and cardamom.
This cosy drink brings warmth to this cold season and emits an aromatic scent. It can be made with or without alcohol – both versions are tasty and will make you feel like Christmas from the inside out! Personally, I prefer the non-alcoholic version which is suitable for children because I love the fruity sweetness and slight spiciness of it. Enjoy :)
