1 bottle of red wine
For the Syrup:
500g caster sugar
500ml water
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves
1 star anise
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Wine
In a large bowl, mix together the dried fruit, lemon and orange zest and juice, spices, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the brandy and vanilla pod, and mix again.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and leave to soak for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 24 hours, pour the mixture into a large jar or container and top it off with a bottle of red wine.
Seal the jar tightly and leave it in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks, stirring every week.
Step 2: Making the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the caster sugar, water, cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 3: Bottling the Wine
After 4-6 weeks, strain the wine through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
Using a funnel, pour the wine into sterilized bottles, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Add a few tablespoons of the syrup to each bottle, then close and seal tightly.
Label and store the bottles in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months before drinking.
