Ingredients

• 750ml bottle of dry red wine
• 1 orange, sliced into rounds
• 8 whole cloves
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 star anise
• 2-4 tbsp sugar, honey or maple syrup

Equipment

• Medium sized pan
• Strainer

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized pan and heat just barely to a simmer over medium-high heat. Be careful not to boil the wine as you don’t want to boil off the alcohol.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and let the wine simmer for at least 15 mins or up to 3 hrs.
3. Strain and serve warm!
