GBA SMOOTHIES / JUICES 2021 - Autumn/Winter

New ‘Winter Wellness’ Glühwein recipes for 2021 Autumn/Winter means cooler days, cold nights and Glühwein to warm up and brighten your day! Our earlier, flavour-packed and non-alcoholic version was such a huge hit that I’ve been busy trying out some of our new juices! Yes, even better than the original recipes – PLUS I couldn’t resist creating a children’s version!

Inspired by our expanded range of Rabenhorst organic juices, I couldn’t wait to get trying, testing and tasting in my kitchen. The result is not one but TWO new Glühwein creations – Winter Wellness, and Children’s Winter versions – both rich in natural organic goodness, antioxidants, vitamins and flavour! Bring the spicy, fruity aroma of the famous German Christmas Markets into your home in no time with these delicious drinks! Louise’s 2021 Winter Wellness Glühwein • 750ml Berry Selection juice • 125-150ml Cherry Nectar • <50ml 11 PLUS 11 multivitamin juice • 1-2 tsp. Glühwein-Gewürz* • cinnamon stick and orange slices to garnish >> Gently heat, and be careful not to boil! Gourmet tip: add a splash of pure Elderberry juice. Remember: this incredibly rich juice is also very tart in flavour, so you may then need to add extra sugar or other sweetener at the end! Children’s Winter Glühwein • 750ml Rotbäckchen Klassik (Classic) juice • 75ml Cherry Nectar – OR – 50ml Blueberry Nectar • 1 tsp. Glühwein-Gewürz* • Cinnamon stick and orange slices to garnish (optional) >> Gently heat, and be careful not to boil!

*I used the Glühwein-Gewürz spices from Gewürzhaus in these recipes. If you don’t have Glühwein-Gewürz spices on hand then try your own combination of your favourite spices! It all depends on your own personal flavour preference. Here are a few ideas to start you off: Basic Glühwein Spice Mix • 1-2 cinnamon sticks = 1/2-1 tsp. ground cinnamon (remove cinnamon sticks to serve or leave as garnish) • 2-3 Cloves (remove when serving) • Extra raw sugar, agave syrup or similar, if needed for sweetening Get creative! > add a dash of ground cardamon > add star anise or another other wintery, Christmassy spices. Thank you all to the German home cooks on the Facebook group Deutsch(e) Kochen in Australien for your quick spice ideas … and the many other amazing German food tips you’ve given me over the years! Enjoy, and viel Spass! ~ Louise
