A bottle of red wine (750 milliliters);
5 tbsp. brandy;
120 g. honey (or sugar);
medium orange;
8 to 10 cloves;
3 cinnamon sticks;
2 teaspoons of ginger.

Peel the orange. Cut the ginger into 8 to 10 small pieces. If you don’t have whole ginger, you can substitute two teaspoons of ground ginger. Add all the ingredients to a large saucepan. Slowly warm everything over low to medium heat for 20-25 minutes. Avoid boiling.

Stir occasionally to make sure the honey or sugar is completely dissolved. When the wine is boiling and all ingredients have infused, it’s ready to serve.

Using a vegetable peeler, scrape the zest off the orange in wide strips. From the orange, then squeeze out the juice and set aside.

Combine the water and sugar in a large saucepan and simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Reduce the heat and add the cloves, cinnamon, star anise, zest and orange juice. Cook over low heat for about a minute until a flavorful syrup forms.

Reduce the heat and add the wine. Allow the drink to simmer for 20 minutes to an hour. Make sure it does not boil over. When the drink is ready, garnish the top with the remaining orange zest.
