Say bye to headaches and cheap sweet mulled wine! We show you the best hot drinks for the pre-Christmas season!

Whether with apples, cinnamon, ginger, orange or with gin, or would you prefer a white mulled wine? There are so many different variations of mulled wine and yet we always drink the classic one, which is too sweet for most of us after at least two cups and which we can’t even smell at Christmas anymore. We show you how to spice up your mulled wine and which other Christmas drinks there are.

1. The home-made mulled wine

Winter Spices and Brown Sugar isolated on white background, top view, copy space. Mulled wine or Christmas seasonal baking ingredients - aroma spices.

Cosiness at home? This year some of you will probably drink the mulled wine at home. We show you the perfect home-made mulled wine.

1 liter red wine, dry
50 ml rum
2 oranges, sliced
2 oranges, squeezed
7 cloves
2 sticks of cinnamon
some star anise
3-5 tablespoons braun sugar

Put all ingredients except rum and sugar in a pot and simmer on a low heat, but do not let it boil! Then add the rum and sugar, stir and heat up again briefly.
Strain the spices and orange slices and serve the mulled wine !

If you like, you can also add vanilla pods, ginger, nutmeg or juniper berries.

2. The white one

Hot drink for New Year, Christmas or autumn holidays. Mulled cider or spiced tea or mulled white wine with lemon, apples, cinnamon, anise, cloves.

Those who actually prefer to drink white wine do not have to torture themselves with red wine during the Christmas season, but can simply make themselves a white mulled wine. We show you how to do that!

a bottle of white wine, we recommend Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, Pinot Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
500 ml naturally cloudy apple juice
2 cinnamon sticks
2 pieces star anise
peel of one orange
3 tablespoons of honey

Put everything together in a pot and let it get warm. After about 10 minutes remove from the heat, stir in the honey and enjoy!
