Ingredients
- 4 Litres of red wine
- 400g Caster sugar
- 6-8 Cinnamon sticks
- Whole cloves
- 2 Oranges
- Whole allspice
- 480ml Orange juice
- Optional dash of brandy, sweet sherry or Port
Method
Place the wine in a large saucepan on a low heat. Heat slowly and never let it boil. Slice the oranges and stud with about 4 cloves. Add to the heating wine. Snap the cinnamon sticks in half and add to the wine with about 10 allspice peppers. Stir in the sugar, the orange juice and the optional brandy etc.
Heat for 30 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the wine, stirring occasionally.
Taste and add more sugar if needed (the poorer the wine quality, the more sugar you will need). Gently heat for a further 30 minutes. Serve in mugs.
