Christmas Market Style Gl\u00fchwein is a festive staple. With its gentle spice, delicate sweetness, and warming nature, a true Christmas Market experience is not without a steaming cup of Gl\u00fchwein to keep your chilly hands warm.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

The recipe used throughout Switzerland\/Germany\/Austria does vary slightly, with each person having their preferred method, but largely the recipe is simple and doesn’t contain any spirits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, the only alcohol is the wine itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, star anise is rarely in an authentic Gl\u00fchwein recipe, which I was surprised to learn as there is star anise pictured in most of the Gl\u00fchwein recipes I see on Pinterest.<\/p>\n\n\n

To develop my recipe, I wanted to do as much research as possible about what really goes into Gl\u00fchwein from some German recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This definitely put my German to the test haha! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common spices used are cinnamon (in stick form), cloves, and allspice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allspice is actually a spice in its own right, not a blend of spices as the name suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allspice berries are dried berries from a plant that comes from Jamaica, and have a flavor similar to nutmeg and cloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In German these are called “Nelkenpfeffer.” This recipe uses the actual berries to infuse the Gl\u00fchwein rather than using the ground version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also used a lot of similar spices in these Chai Spiced cupcakes<\/a>, so if you like Gl\u00fchwein you will definitely like these!<\/p>\n\n\n

Sugar and water are boiled first with all the spices and the rind of an orange and a lemon before the wine is added and heated through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your whole house is going to smell like a Christmas Market if you make this! It’s incredible! Best served alongside some Traditional Swiss Cheese Fondue<\/a> ;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
