HOT SPICED WINE

Got a great recipe from the son in law in Israel-

“I’ve made this several times and it was always a hit

1 bottle of dry red wine (750ml) – shouldn’t be expensive but not too cheap…
10 whole cloves
1 orange
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 – 3/4 cp. sugar
1/2 – 3/4 cp water

1. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer.
2. Cut the orange in half, and squeeze the juice into the simmering water. Push the cloves into the outside of the orange peel, and place peel in the simmering water (it’s just so that the cloves don’t get served accidentally and then somebody gets them in their cup…..) . Continue simmering for 30 minutes, until thick and syrupy.
3. Pour in the wine, and heat until steaming but not simmering. Remove the clove-studded orange halves. Serve hot in mugs or glasses that have been preheated in warm water (cold glasses may break.) – if it isn’t sweet enough or if it is too potent just add some more water and sugar. Thats why i wrote 1/2 – 3/4 …. also feel free to add some more cloves and/or cinnamon.

Just double, triple or whatever to the recipe….”
