Ingredients
- 1 clementine juiced
- 4 strips lemon peel
- 4 strips clementine peel
- 6 heaping spoonfuls granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 vanilla bean halved
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 bottle red wine
- 1 shot 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 caramel-like syrup.
- Add the rest of the bottle of wine, cover, and heat through. If you want, add an extra kick add a shot or rum or brandy. I added a shot of Brugal I'd been infusing with vanilla beans.
- Serve the drink as soon as the wine is heated through, and feel the warmth!
Notes
- Choose a bright, fruity red wine that will go nicely with the spices and citrus peels.
- Be careful not to boil the hot wine, unless you want it to be without alcohol!
