Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 oranges
2 (750 milliliter) bottles red wine
1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine
1 (3 inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cinnamon sticks
½ teaspoon ground cloves
⅓ cup brown sugar, or to taste
¼ cup brandy

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the oranges in strips, being careful to remove only the orange part, leaving the pith behind. Then, juice the oranges into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.

SPICED WINE

A big pan of this warming punch is a great way to greet your guests and help them find their voices

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Dinner, Drink

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

100g light muscovado sugar
2 oranges , zest pared, juice squeezed from one, the other cut into chunks
2 cinnamon sticks , broken in half
little freshly grated nutmeg
1 x 75cl bottle light red wine
1 apple , quartered, cored and thickly sliced

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.
