- 1 bottle inexpensive red wine
- 1 cup clear apple juice
- 1 cup water
- juice of 1 orange
- 1 orange sliced
- 1/2 lemon sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick, halved
- 6 cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 2/3 cup superfine sugar
- 2 1/2 cups brandy
Add all ingredients to a pot and simmer until hot (about twenty minutes), the longer the ingredients simmer together the more the flavors will develop. I should note that I only used 1 cup of cognac instead of brandy because it’s what I had on hand, and it still packed a punch! Serve in a heat proof glass. Came out super yummy and I enjoyed it on a nice post snow day.
