Eine dampfende Tasse Glühwein steht auf einem Holzbrett. Daneben liegen getrocknete Orangenscheiben und Zimtstangen als weihnachtliche Dekoration.

Glüh-Gin

Ein Rezept von unserer Gastgeberin Alexandra Kropp

Preparation

  • 400 ml blackcurrant juice
  • 250 ml orange juice (without pulp)
  • 200 ml tea (black)
  • 150 ml gin
  • 50 g sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise
  • 4 cloves
  • 4 juniper berries
  • some orange zest
  • some tonka bean (grated, or 1 packet of sugar flavored with tonka bean)

Preparation

Step 1
Boil water and steep the black tea for a maximum of 2 minutes.
Mix the juices and sugar in a pot and add the spices (preferably in a tea infuser so they can be easily removed).

Step 2
Simmer the mixture gently for about 10–15 minutes.
Remove the spice bag.
Add the tea and gin.
Let it steep briefly.

Step 3
Divide into cups or mugs and garnish with a slice of orange or a cinnamon stick.


SERVE HOT AND ENJOY!
