Adapted from a recipe in A J Rathbun's _Dark Spirits_, as reprinted by Braiden Rex-Johnson at Al Dente This is essentially a mulled wine. For the simple syrup, mix equal parts (by volume) sugar and water; heat until the sugar dissolves. It will keep in the refrigerator... well, forever.
Ingredients:
3 cups dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon)
2 cups tawny port
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup simple syrup
1 piece orange peel, 1-inch wide and 3-4-inch long
3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
Directions:
1. Combine everything in a small saucepan. Heat gently without bubbling at all until hot and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove the solids and serve in heavy mugs.
