Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups grape juice
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces whole cloves
- 1 piece star anise
- 1 strip orange peel
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
Pour the grape juice into a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, star anise, orange peel, and ground nutmeg to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, but do not let it boil. Reduce the heat to low if necessary.
Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the grape juice.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, stir in up to 2 tablespoons of honey for added sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the spiced grape juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices and orange peel.
Pour the hot spiced grape juice into mugs or heatproof glasses and serve immediately.
