Wine – Flourishing Home with Hannah

Another request this holiday season form the hubby was a holiday drink. When I found this recipe I thought this would be perfect to try.

Ingredients:

1 bottle of red wine, we used Cabernet Sauvignon

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1 small orange, thinly sliced and cut in half

1 small bag of frozen strawberries

12 ounces of club soda

Combine the following ingredients in a double layer of cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth together, tie securely and set aside:

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Ground Cloves

pinch of ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick broken in half

Direction:

Combine 1 cup wine, sugar and cheesecloth,with ingredients in it, bring to a simmer. Cook 6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Remove the cheesecloth and discard. Pour mixture into a pitcher, add remaining 3 cups wine. Chill thoroughly. Add juice, strawberries, orange slices. I placed it all in the fridge for about an hour and then added the club soda right before serving.
