Ingredients
- 750ml red wine (dry, full-bodied)
- 150ml brandy
- 45g low-carb sweetener (we use Low Carb Larder Extra Fine Caster S*gar)
- 9 drops Monk Fruit Drops
- 1 orange
- 10 whole cloves
- 3 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Let's Begin!
Step 1 - Build the base
Add the red wine to a medium saucepan with strips of orange peel, the cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks and monk fruit. Warm over low heat until steam rises, but don’t let it boil!
Step 2 - Sweeten & enrich
Stir in the sweetener until dissolved. Pour in the brandy, taste and adjust for sweetness with monk fruit and add an extra strip of orange peel for brightness, or a splash more brandy for warmth.
Serve!
Ladle into heatproof glasses. Garnish with a twist of orange peel or a cinnamon stick if you like. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tip!
Keep the pot just below a simmer to preserve the wine’s aromatics. Boiling will drive off flavour and alcohol. Prefer non-alcoholic? Swap the wine for a dry alcohol-free red and sweeten to taste! 🎄🍷
