Instructions
- Wash the oranges thoroughly in hot water, squeeze out the juice and reserve the leftover orange pieces.
- Add frozen blueberries and the squeezed-out orange juice to a pot. Stir to combine, warm under low heat until thawed, then process using a hand blender.
- Add the reserved orange pieces, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, and nutmeg. With the heat still set on low, cover, and warm for 25-30 minutes, stirring from time to time (see notes). Do not let it boil.
- Add the brandy, sieve, pour into glasses, garnish and serve warm.
Notes
- For a more intensive flavor, cook the Glühwein under low heat for 50-60 minutes.
- Washing the oranges in hot water helps remove wax, normally coated on oranges to extend their shelf life. It also enhances their aroma.
- Keep the Glühwein from boiling as this might make some of the alcohol evaporate. A temperature of between 72°C and 75°C is ideal.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste; fresh blueberries can be used in place of the frozen ones.
