“I’m enjoying being back in the Hilton-Pietermaritzburg area. Something that goes down perfectly for a chilly Hilton evening is a glass or two of gluweine. Bring this aromatic liquid to the boil and then place it in the Wonderbag where the intensity required will develop.”
Yields: 4 cups
Ingredients:
- 2 Lemons - Zest and Juice
- 2 Oranges - Zest and Juice
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Pod or Vanilla Extract
- 1 Bottle (750ml) Good quality Red Wine
Method:
- Using a lemon zester or potato peeler, remove the zest from the lemons and oranges, avoiding the white pith, place the zest into a saucepan. Juice the lemons and oranges and add the juice to the heavy based pot..
- Add the sugar, water, cinnamon powder, vanilla pod or extract and red wine.
- Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer (do not let it boil), stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
