Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle red wine
  • 1 orange sliced
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 2 star anise

Method
 

  1. Pour the wine into a saucepan and add the orange slices and honey.
  2. Drop in the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise.
  3. Warm the mixture over low heat without letting it boil.
  4. Let it gently steep for 15 to 20 minutes so the spices infuse.
  5. Strain into mugs and serve warm with an extra orange slice.

Notes

Keep it below a simmer, since boiling burns off the wine and the cozy flavor with it.
