A delicious winter treat perfect for a snowy Christmas.
SERVES: 5
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oranges
- 1 bottle of medium-bodied red wine
- ¼ cup brandy
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup, to taste
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 star anise
- 4 cloves
- optional garnishes: fresh whole cranberries, additional orange half moons
METHOD
-
Slice one orange into rounds and place it into a mediumsized heavy-bottomed pot. Cut the second orange in half and squeeze its juice into the pot.
-
Pour the red wine and brandy into the pot. Add 1 tbsp of maple syrup, the cinnamon sticks, star anise and cloves. Stir.
-
Warm the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam (about 5 minutes) and continue to watch it. When you begin to see the smallest of bubbles at the surface, reduce the heat to low.
-
Taste, then add another tbsp of maple syrup if needed. Continue cooking over very low heat for 5-10 more minutes if you would like to increase the intensity of the spice flavours.
-
Serve in Christmas-themed mugs with your desired garnishes. You can add the cranberries to the pot for an extra festive presentation.
