Directions
  1. In a medium pot, add all ingredients except the sugar.
  2. Mix to combine and bring to boil.
  3. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar to taste.
  5. Cover and let steep for an additional 10 minutes (the longer it sits the better!).
  6. If it looks like there is a top layer of foam and/or ground spice, use a ladle or spoon to skim off the top and discard.
  7. Reheat gently over low heat if needed. Pour wine into mugs, garnish as desired, and serve piping hot!
