There is no time of the year, where being surrounded by the people that we love is more cherished than around Christmas. The most beautiful moments in life are shared with others. – Like a good warming drink! What is more wonderful than ringing in Christmas with a homemade “Glühwein” and winterly spices. Find a recipe for mulled wine below, the German national drink around Christmas time. Sometimes all you need is “Good hearts & Glühwein”…
