Recipes Drinks
The drink that evokes the scent of winter markets. The key to making it is 'extraction': the spice aromas must be dissolved into the liquid without evaporating the alcohol content of the wine. That's why we first make a spiced 'tea' (base) and only add the wine at the end.

Instructions

1 ✓

First make the spiced syrup: place the water, sugar, spices and sliced orange into a saucepan.

Tip: The water-soluble aromas of the spices dissolve better in water, and you can boil it boldly without losing alcohol.
2 ✓

Boil the water base for 10-15 minutes until it reduces by half and has an intense aroma.

Tip: This 'concentrate' provides the soul of the drink.
3 ✓

Pour in the wine and turn down the heat. Heat until it starts to steam, but DO NOT let it boil.

Tip: The ideal temperature is 70-75°C. If it's bubbling, the alcohol is evaporating.
4 ✓

Remove from the heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes for the flavours to meld.

Tip: Strain before serving so the spices don't interfere with drinking.

Recipe FAQ

Why has it turned bitter?
The white pith of the orange (albedo) contains bitter compounds. Peel thinly, or use only the flesh and the yellow zest.
It's lost its kick.
You boiled the wine. Alcohol has a lower boiling point (78°C) than water. Only heat it until it steams.
