Ingredients:
To make a delicious Christmas red wine, you will need the following ingredients:
1 bottle of your favorite red wine
1/4 cup of honey
1/4 cup of brandy
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
1 orange, sliced
Instructions:
Start by warming the red wine in a pot over medium heat. Do not let it boil, as this can ruin the taste.
Add the honey, brandy, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the pot and stir until well combined.
Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the wine.
Meanwhile, slice the orange and add it to the pot.
Once the wine is warm and the flavors have melded together, it is ready to serve.
Strain the wine into glasses, making sure to remove the cinnamon stick and orange slices.
For an extra festive touch, you can serve the wine in mugs with a cinnamon stick and orange slice as a garnish.
Variations:
If you want to get creative with your Christmas red wine, here are a few variations to try:
Spice it up by adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the mixture.
