Anyone have a great recipe for vin chaud?

Question

I want to be reminded of my time in the french alps. I believe ingedients included beaujolais, orange zest, cinnamon and a variety of other spices.

If someone has a recipe with preperation instructions I will honor you with a toast. Preferably a recipe you can vouch for!

Cheers!

Answer 1

Vin Chaud
(or Gluhwein)
What You Need:
# 2 slices lemon
# 4 whole cloves
# 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
# 1½ sticks cinnamon
# 2 cups (1 pint) claret or Burgundy
# Two 8-ounce mugs

How To Cook:
1. Stud each lemon slice with 2 cloves and combine them with the sugar and cinnamon sticks in a 1-quart enameled, copper or stainless-steel skillet, casserole or chafing dish.

2. Place over moderate heat, stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until the sugar has melted, then pour in the red wine.

3. Continue to stir until the wine has almost reached the boiling point.

4. Remove from the heat immediately, scoop out the lemon slices and cinnamon with a spoon or spatula, and pour the hot wine into mugs.

Answer 2

Pardon my English, but as I'm French it's not easy to translate. I gave that recipe to a friend of mine who lives in the US and who loves it.

Vin chaud

1 bottle of red wine

180g of sugar (brown sugar is better)

The zest of a lemon or of an orange (as you wish)

1 or 2 cloves

A stick of cinnamon (or a pinch or two of cinnamon powder)

Put everything in a saucepan but that do not bring it to the boil!! But warm (medium heat) until it sings (you know when you can see some tremors) (it takes around 10 minutes. I think) (if you want you can add a glass of water)

Then filter and drink it very hot. (you can keep it in an old bottle in the fridge for a few days and then warm it up in a pan).
