Ingredients
- 1 cup red wine (1 cup is approx ⅓ bottle)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
- 5 cloves
- 3 pieces orange rind
- 1 tablespoon sugar plus a little more to taste, as needed
- 2 tablespoon orange juice
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients in a small pan and warm over a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Warm until it is steaming and reduce the heat - you ideally want to warm it at least 10 minutes, but nearer 20 is better, so the flavors infuse and sugar dissolves. Don't let it boil.
- Remove the spices and orange rind from the pan and serve warm, topped with orange slices if you like, adding a little more sugar or honey to taste.
Notes
Note - you can use a bit more wine/juice with the same level of spice. If you want to warm a whole bottle, triple the wine, sugar, orange juice and water but probably just double the spices.
