This very easy recipe comes from Winemaker magazine. I liked it because I had all of the ingredients on hand, it is really fast, and because it warmed me up and helped alleviate the symptoms of the cold I had at the time. According to the recipe source, the mixture can be kept warm in a crockpot, or on a coffee warmer (covered) for several hours, and can be successfully reheated the next day. (Mine never lasted long enough for me to testify to the above statement.)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1 orange
1 (750 ml) bottle red table wine (pinot noir, merlot, shiraz, etc.)
Directions:
1. Mix water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, wine, and the juice of the orange together in a heavy pot.
2. Bring up the heat, but do not boil.
3. Add the orange peel and simmer 15 minutes.
4. Serve immediately in preheated mugs.
