"The recipe is different from others posted in that it contains raisins and almonds. The English translation of Glühwein is "glow wine." The mulled wine got its name because it radiates heat and gives the drinker a glow."

This recipe was the best tasting Gluhwein I have tasted! I normally like a sweeter type of wine. The sugar and raisins gave it a wonderful taste that was not too sweet. I made it for a "German" themed party this weekend and everybody raved about it. Needless to say it was gone with a few minutes. Definately make a double recipe.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary. I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :) I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US. My rating system: 5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often. 4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly. 3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak. 2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
