Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups grape juice
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 4 pieces whole cloves
- 1 piece star anise
- 1 strip orange zest
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 pieces ice cubes
- 0.25 cups water (optional, for adjusting sweetness)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the grape juice, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, star anise, and orange zest.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the juice.
Remove the saucepan from heat, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof container to remove the spices and orange zest.
Stir in the honey while the juice is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely. Adjust the sweetness by adding up to 1/4 cup of water, if needed.
Allow the spiced grape juice to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until chilled for a colder drink.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the spiced grape juice over the ice.
Garnish with a small cinnamon stick or a thin orange slice, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
