Ingredients
- 750 ml (26 oz/ 1 bottle) red wine (ex. Cabernet, merlot, feteasca neagra, malbec, zinfandel, etc.)
- 750 ml (26 oz/ 1 bottle) rum (dark rum, aged rum)
- 8 tbsp sugar
- 4 cloves
- 2 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 1 orange
Directions
- In a large pot, put the wine to heat.
- When the wine reaches the simmering point temperature add the rum.
- Add sugar and blend so the sugar dissolves.
- Add 4 cloves, 2 tsp of cardamom powder (you can also use seeds if powder isn’t available), and 2 tbsp of raisins.
- Let the mixture simmer on very low heat for a maximum of 10 minutes.
- Remove the beverage from the heat and add slices of oranges.
- Avoid adding oranges or lemons when simmering the wine with spices. It will add a bitter flavor to your beverage.
- Let the wine and rum mixture rest for 20 minutes so all the spices combine into a flavorful drink.
- Serve.
