- Cover and heat over medium-high until heated through, but not boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and heat for an hour or longer to bring all of the flavors together. Adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar, as necessary. Strain and serve hot with a splash of brandy, if desired.

Steps:
- Put the sugar, the orange zest, juice and chunks, cinnamon and nutmeg in a pan with 300ml/1⁄2pt water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins to infuse the spices, then add the wine and apple slices and bring to a simmer. Serve in heatproof glasses.
Tips:
- Choose a robust red wine with a high tannin content, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Shiraz. These wines will hold up well to the spices and heat.
- Use whole spices whenever possible. This will give the wine a more intense flavor. If you must use ground spices, use half the amount called for.
- Toast the spices before adding them to the wine. This will help release their flavor and aroma.
- Simmer the wine over low heat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour. This will allow the spices to infuse the wine without making it bitter.
- Strain the wine through a fine-mesh sieve before serving. This will remove any sediment.
- Serve the wine hot or cold, depending on your preference.
- Spiced wine can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Spiced wine is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little experimentation, you can create a spiced wine that is sure to impress your friends and family.
