Autumn pleasure hot mulled wine.

Mulled wine... how many heat, romanticism and fun we put in this known hot drink with a feyrverok of spices and fruit.??
One word "mulled wine" casts pleasant associations, here from it and we will begin
Well, hot drinks on the basis of various alcohol exist long since, it is possible even to tell since ancient times because in Ancient Rome plaid about the warmed-up wine with fragrant spices and in the painful Middle Ages mulled wine was to the taste not only to grandees, but also commonalty.
If to address old sources, mulled wine even on biting pronunciation the clean German, namely "GLUHWEIN" that sounds as "glyuvayn", there is still "GLUHENDER WEIN" literal more hotly wine, nevertheless for us not absolutely. And, already familiar glint-hot and veyn-wine Poles distorted, so to us already well familiar GLINTWAJN we came to this day to Russian and we call desired dessert drink which is so pleasant for drinking on a frost with friends or opposite in a full privacy with the mediativny thoughts that nobody prevented to reflect and just to dream of the... maiden.
Reason for writing of this article at me not absolutely cheerful... Girls, I strong am ill week and it is very offensive as outside the window under 30 degrees of heat, and all this green violence does not breathe in the fall at all, and here summer as it is. Even chestnuts with actions stand in bloom. The nature precisely turned over.
And here, as ill luck would have it temperature, ache, nausea, eye pain and breakdown. Well, whether it is annoying...
Stuffed me with any sophisticated antibiotics, and napkins became faithful companions of my sleepy and painful everyday life.
Yesterday evening, I sadly looked at three-liter tetra pak of red dry wine and... having thought it was thrown on kitchen for urgent audit of the spices. Well, you understood
It just thanks of my thriftiness and huge love to spices.
In a locker appeared necessary for preparation of a saving potion, overseas spices, namely: the fragrant asterisks of an anisetree, small tart pods of cardamom attracting the draft smell cinnamon sticks, vanilla and of course a lemon, honey and sugar.
At once I speak, never take expensive vintage wines for preparation of hot drinks, simple table dry wines of grades are appropriate: Cabernet, Merlot, Shiraz, pino-noir, saperav.
To transfer smart wines to heating there is no sense, it is better than them magnificent taste to enjoy at supper.
So we take approximately the 150th waters we pour in a stewpan / a small saucepan we put on small fire and we fill up 3-4 tablespoons of sugar, it is a little vanilla.
It is necessary that sugar was dissolved and in this syrup we put couple of asterisks of an anisetree, cardamom of 3-5 features and a cinnamon stick if there is no integral cinnamon then only already at the end we powder habitual ground cinnamon. Thus spices will give to drink the fragrant essential oils.
In this warm spicy soup we pour in 0.5 red not sweet wines.
So far future mulled wine gets warm in it on a small grater three a lemon dried peel, and we also attach segments of a lemon, orange and even apples. Periodically we stir slowly and we enter polryumki/2-3 tablespoons to brandy/cognac/rum.
Remember!! Glintvey it is impossible to bring to boiling, temperature in the printsena should not exceed 70-75 grudus, otherwise when boiling not only the great taste of wine will be lost, but also the most part of alcohol will evaporate.
We switch off fire and we cover.
In estimated cups, thick-walled glasses / glasses we pour a little any honey and over it already we pour our medvyany wine.
We give with slices of a lemon, orange, a lime and in general add everything that you love everything to this saving elixir.
Carnation buds, bay leaf, ginger, saffron and any burning pepper can give to fiery mulled wine extraordinary nuance.
Today thanks to mulled wine, I already standing. I feel perfectly.
I will not begin to insist only on medical effect of fragrant drink, drink it always for pleasure. Now the greatest autumn and winter season for pleasure began this fragrant wine cocktail.
