Instructions
- Prepare a sweet and spicy infusion by pouring less than 1 inch of water into a saucepan (a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven works well), adding 3 teaspoons granulated sugar, and stirring. Add 2 anise star, 6 allspice, 8 cloves, and 1 cinnamon stick. Then place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost evaporated.
- Ensure that all the water does not evaporate completely. If necessary, add a tablespoon or two of water to the saucepan. You should be left with a low-water syrup that is beginning to caramelize.
- Add 1 ⅔ cups red wine to the saucepan and stir. Return the pot to the stove and heat until it is just about to boil, when a light foam begins to form on the surface. Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand for about ten minutes to allow the flavors of the spices and wine to blend nicely.
- Strain the spiced wine by pouring it through a sieve into another pot, discarding any leftover spices. Serve with citrus fruit slices.
Notes
- SERVING:
- The basic recipe makes 2 full glasses.
- SERVING: Serve hot in your favorite heatproof glass or porcelain mug. If you like, garnish with a few citrus slices for a nice display. If you prefer your brew sweeter, add a sugar bowl to the table. Everyone will be able to sweeten their warm drink to taste.
- Reheat in a pot on the stovetop, eventually in the microwave.
- Spiced wine should not be cooked during preparation. If you boil the wine or heat it for too long, the alcohol will evaporate, and the brew will lose its strength.
