• 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.
