Ingredients
Method
- In a large pot, combine the red wine, brewed coffee, and optional brandy or liqueur.
- Add the orange juice, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
- Stir in the sweetener, adjusting to taste.
- Warm over low heat, allowing it to gently simmer for about 20 minutes (or longer for stronger flavors).
- Remove from heat and strain out the spices.
- Serve hot in mugs and enjoy!
Notes
Simmering longer enhances the spiced flavors. Garnish with an orange slice or cinnamon stick for a festive touch. Adjust sweetness based on preference—honey adds a richer depth.
