Served hot, it offers a comforting combination of rich wine flavors and festive spices, perfect for cozy evenings by the fireplace.
Ingredients
- 1 Orange, slice into 1/4 inch thick
- 2 cups Water
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Cinnamon Sticks
- 1 tbsp Whole Black Peppercorns
- 1 tbsp Whole Allspice Berries
- 4 Whole Star Anise Pods
- 3 Whole Cloves
- 1 750mL bottle of Starfield Red Wine (soft, fruity)
- 10 oz Apple Cider
- 1 Splash of Starfield Blanc de Blancs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
- Slice oranges no larger then 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the orange slices onto a baking sheet and bake for 4 hours, flipping them over at the 2-hour mark.
- Once the orange slices are done, combine orange slices, all spices, sugar and water into a sauce pan.
- Bring the orange, spice, sugar and water mixture to a simmer and cook over low heat for 22 minutes.
- Add 10oz of your favorite apple cider. Simmer for 1 minute.
- Add your Red Wine and return to a simmer for about 2 more minutes. Be careful not to overcook as the wine will reduce.
- Remove pan from heat. Cover and steep until well-flavored. We recommend letting it steep 5 to 10 minutes.
- Once desired intensitiy is reached ladle 6oz portions into your favorite mugs. If you would like to make the temperature hotter, place in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Top with a splash of Starfield Blanc de Blanc. Please note this step is optional but this is how we serve it here at the winery.
We hope you enjoy!
