Gluehwein

60 g Sugar
1/2 Cinnamon stick
4 Cloves
Peel of 1/2 lemon
1/8 l Water
1 l Red wine
Juice of 1/2 - 1 lemon

Put cinnamon, cloves and lemon peel in a paper tea filter; tie it shut with a piece of white yarn. Together with the water and the sugar, bring it to a boil in a pot, let sit for 20 minutes. Take out the tea filter, add the red wine and heat. The art is to heat the wine up as close to its boiling temperature without ever getting it to boil (the most important thing about making gluehwein is that the wine must NEVER boil). Finally, add lemon juice to taste.
