Ingredients
- 1 (750-milliliter) bottle of dry red wine
- ¼ cup brandy or orange liqueur
- 1 orange, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 8 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 star anise pods
- 1-2 Storied Goods Infused Sugar Cubes (depending on desired sweetness)
- Garnish: Citrus slices (orange, lemon, and/or lime), cinnamon sticks, star anise
Directions
Combine wine, brandy, orange slices, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and sugar cubes to a large saucepan. Stir briefly to combine. Place over medium-high heat until it just barely reaches a simmer. (Avoid letting it bubble; you don’t want to boil off the alcohol.) Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and discard orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Taste and add extra sweetener if needed.
Serve warm in a mug, topped with garnishes, accompanied with good company and cozy stories.
