Ingredients:
- 1 bottle red wine (750 ml)
- 1/4 cup brandy (optional)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 8-10 whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1/3 cup honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Orange peel or cinnamon sticks for garnish
Cooking Steps:
Step 1: Begin the Infusion In a large saucepan, pour the red wine and add brandy if desired. Warm the mixture over low to medium heat without boiling.
