Ingredients

  • 1 Clementine
  • 4 strips of lemon peel
  • 4 strips of clementine peel
  • 6 heaping spoons of sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 vanilla bean halved
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 bottle of red wine
  • A shot of rum or brandy optional

Instructions

  • Squeeze the clementine juice into a saucepan and add the sugar and citrus peels.
  • Add the spices and bring the mixture to a boil, constantly stirring.
  • As soon as it boils add ½ cup of red wine. Allow it to simmer slowly until it is reduced to a carmel-like syrup.
  • Add the rest of the bottle of wine, cover, and as soon as it is warm, serve. Don't boil unless you want it to be sin alcohol (non-alcoholic)!
  • If you want an extra kick add a shot or rum or brandy (I added a shot of Brugal I'd been infusing with vanilla beans)
  • Drink and feel the warmth!
