Mulled Wine with Rooibos
Ingredients:
2/3 c. sugar
1 liter of red wine
2/3 cup of brandy
3 to 4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
orange peel from 1/2 orange
Classic Tips Rooibos (bagged or loose will do)
1. Warm the wine in a stainless steel saucepan.
2. Thinly slice orange peel without any of the whtie and point it into small pieces. Add to the wine, squeezing in some juice.
3. In a separate pan, steep enough Rooibos for 10 minutes (bagged or loose) to make 2 cups of tea.
4. Add remaining ingredients.
5. Stir occasionally without letting the wine boil or simmer.
6. Shut off heat once the wine begins to steam and get ready to serve.
7. Ladle the wine out into mugs or glasses, leaving the seasonings behind.
