Ingridients
- 1.5 liters of red wine
- 3 sticks of cinnamon
- 250 g of sugar
- some cloves
- peel 2 oranges, 1 lemon and 1 apple
- a little nutmeg
- a pinch of ginger (more if desired)
- 5 to 10 juniper berries
- star anise
Preparation
First, finely peel the lemon, apple and two oranges. We try to avoid the white part of the skin as much as possible, as this could make the wine bitter. Put all the dry ingredients in a pot and cover with wine. Put it on the stove (at a lower temperature). Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. After 8 to 12 minutes, the boiled wine can be removed from the heat. If desired, it can be strained and decorated as desired. Enjoy... but be careful!
