Ingredients
-
0.5 liters
red wine (Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
-
0.5 liters
water
-
5 tablespoons
sugar
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla essence
-
10
cloves
-
1
cinnamon stick
-
1
organic orange
Directions
-
Wash and dry the orange and cut into slices.
-
Put a pot on stove and pour in the wine and water, add sugar, vanilla essence, cloves, cinnamon stick and orange slice and slowly bring to a boil.
-
When the wine comes to a boil, bring the temperature down to a light simmer and let it cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally to melt the sugar. The wine should never boil vigorously, but gently. The longer you boil the wine, the less alcohol it will contain.
-
Serve hot in glasses or cups, decorated with orange slices.
