But just because the weather is cooling down doesn\u2019t mean you have to give up on your favourite glass of wine &#8211; yes indeed, when mother nature gives you ice and cold, make Gl\u00fchwein instead! This special recipe from <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.placeinthesun.co.za\/wines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Place in the Sun<\/a><\/em> wines is super easy to follow and make use of their delicious <em>Place in the Sun<\/em> Merlot.<\/p>\n<h4>Merlot Gl\u00fchwein<\/h4>\n<p>Serves 4<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00bd orange, sliced<br \/>\n\u00bd lemon, sliced<br \/>\n1 cinnamon stick<br \/>\n2-3 cloves<br \/>\n1 Star anise spice<br \/>\n\u00bc cup sugar<br \/>\n200 ml water<br \/>\n750 ml Place in the Sun Merlot<br \/>\n2 Tablespoons brandy to taste (optional)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 In a large pot, combine the orange and lemon slices, cinnamon stick, cloves, anise spice, sugar and water.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Once the sugar and spices have infused into the water, turn the heat down to a low temperature and pour in the Place in the Sun Merlot as well as the brandy (if using) while stirring the mixture.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Heat until steaming and then remove from heat. Do not boil the Gl\u00fchwein as this will result in the alcohol evaporating.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Serve hot in mugs or glasses that have been preheated in warm water (cold glasses will break) with lemon slices or cinnamon sticks for decoration.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 If there is leftover Gl\u00fchwein after 1 hour of making it, remove the orange and lemon slices so they do not impart a bitter taste. Store any leftover Gl\u00fchwein in a glass container at room temperature and consume within two days.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Stock up for winter and shop for a wide variety of wines online via PriceCheck.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/search?search=wine&amp;category=167\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21641\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png\" alt=\"view offers\" width=\"300\" height=\"57\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers-300x57.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Buttons_ViewOffers.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Want more\u00a0wine-related reads?
