Description

Ingredients

• 1 bottle red wine
• 4 cups apple cider
• ¼ cup honey
• ½ cup spiced rum
• 1 apple, sliced
• 2 clementines, halved
• Zest of 1 clementine
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 8 whole cloves
• 3 star anise
• 1 vanilla bean
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 4 thin slices fresh ginger
• Apple & clementine slices, for garnish

Directions

• Combine wine, cider, honey, rum, apple slices, clementines, and zest in a large pot (or slow cooker) set over low heat.
• While liquid warms, toast cinnamon sticks, cloves, anise, vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger in a small pan for 5 minutes, tossing spices around with a wooden spoon occasionally. Add to liquid and stir well.
• Allow sangria to simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring every once in a while to help the honey dissolve and the spices to incorporate. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
• Serve while hot, garnishing with apple and clementine slices, and a pretty star anise to complement the glass. Enjoy!
