Spiced Honey Lemon Glögg – 2nd Recipe from Wuhan, Hubei, China
1.5″ Ginger peeled & thinly sliced
1 lemon remove zest carefully before juicing
3 small star anise
3 sticks cinnamon
4 T. sugar
3 T. honey
6 cups water
simmer for one hour (or longer to taste)
Enjoy in your favourite mug… hot as a cold remedy or more.
I was thinking of the Ikea recipe, Glögg, which was such a morning comfort in holiday seasons past.
For my cup, I simmered a few hours so it reduced to about about 2 or 3 cups in the pot… I ladeled about a 1/3 c. into my cup and filled the balance with boiling water. I think I could add a bit more honey or sugar… but with my voice gone and a cough still hanging on this batch is better without more sweetness.

I thought it was a recipe for making hot wine !!
Je pensais que c’était une recette pour du vin chaud !

ps : What a surprise to see you. Great!
@Fauquet I should have called it Remedy rather than Glogg
I have a cold and this was to help with the congestion… adding some white wine might help by adding merriment!
