2. Malt Extract
The star ingredient in our Christmas malt wine recipe is the malt extract. This sweet and syrupy liquid is made from malted barley and adds a unique depth of flavor to the wine. Look for malt extract at your local health food store or online.

To give your malt wine that quintessential holiday taste, you'll need a blend of warm spices. Cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice are must-haves for any Christmas drink. You can also add a pinch of ginger for an extra kick.
4. Oranges
Fresh oranges will add a bright and citrusy flavor to your malt wine. Plus, the oils from the orange peels will infuse the wine with a lovely aroma. Make sure to wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them into rounds.
5. Honey
For a touch of sweetness, we recommend using honey instead of sugar. Honey pairs perfectly with the malt extract and adds a natural and subtle sweetness to your Christmas drink.
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, combine the red wine, malt extract, and spices. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. Add the orange slices and let the wine simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and stir in the honey until it dissolves.
4. Let the malt wine cool for a few minutes before serving.
