Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) Red wine dry red wine is preferred
- 2 strips Lemon peel
- 2 strips Orange peel
- 2 Orange slices 1/2 orange cut into rounds
- 2 Apple slices 1/2 apple cut into rounds
- ½ cup (120 ml) Brandy
- ¼ cup (4 tbsp) Honey or maple syrup
Spices
- 2 Cinnamon stick (3-inch sticks)
- 2 Star anise
- 4 Cloves
- 2 Cardamoms optional
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg freshly grated
Instructions
- Combine - Add wine, citrus, apples, brandy, honey/maple syrup, and all spices into a saucepan. Stir gently.
- Warm - Bring to a very gentle simmer over low heat. Do not boil. Boiling cooks off the alcohol — we don’t want that.
- Infuse - Simmer for 15 minutes (or up to 3 hours for a deeper spiced wine).
- Taste & Adjust - Add more sweetener or citrus if needed.
- Strain (optional) — I rarely strain — the cooked fruit makes a gorgeous garnish.
- Serve - Ladle into heatproof mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, orange slices, or star anise for that “I totally tried” vibe.
