HOT SPICED CHRISTMAS WINE

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the oranges in strips, being careful to remove only the orange part, leaving the pith behind. Then, juice the oranges into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
• Pour the red wine and white wine into the pot with the orange juice. Place the strips of orange zest, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and brown sugar into the pot with the wine mixture; stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Cover and heat over medium-high until heated through, but not boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and heat for an hour or longer to bring all of the flavors together. Adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar, as necessary. Strain and serve hot with a splash of brandy, if desired.

SPICED WINE FIRE PUNCH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cut oranges in half and juice.
• Pour red wine in a large pot. Add the orange juice through a sieve to get rid of pulp.
• Add cider, cloves and half the cinnamon sticks and bring to a simmer, but do not boil.
• Cut apple in ⅓ - ½ inch (1 cm) slices, leaving the peel on and the star in the middle intact. Put the center slices with a star aside and add the rest of the ends to the punch.
• To serve, pour punch in a heat resistant glass.
• Take the center slices with the inner star shape and clean the holes of the seeds and tough lining, making sure to keep the star shape intact.
• Carefully place the apple slice on the punch, so it floats on top.
• Pour a little bit of the rum in a glass, heat-safe dish. Have another glass nearby to hold the spoon you will use to move the sugar to the apple.
• Soak sugar cube in rum and place it over the star in the glass.
• Carefully, with a lighter, set sugar cube on fire until you see the sugar bubbling and a blue flame.
• If necessary, carefully add small amounts of rum on the sugar cube with a spoon to keep it burning until the sugar is melted.
• Stir with a cinnamon stick and enjoy immediately while it is still hot. If not sweet enough, repeat sugar cube flaming step or add more sugar to the hot drink.
• Enjoy!
