Wine Recipe for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner. To make it creepier, we’re presenting a wine concoction we found online that’s sure to make your palates warm and thirst for more.
This is called The Banshee from wine.about.com:
We hope you guys will enjoy this.
- 1 Bottle Red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, or Merlot)
- 1 Peeled and Sliced Orange (keep peel to add zest to taste into cooking pot)
- 1 Peeled and Sliced Lemon
- 1 tbsp Ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp Ground ginger
- 5 Whole cloves
- 3 Cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 cup Suger (or honey can be substituted)
- 2/3 cup Brandy or cognac
- 1/2 cup water
Combine all ingredients in either a large pot or a slow cooker. Gently warm the ingredients on low to medium heat (avoid boiling), for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure that the honey or sugar has completely dissolved. When the wine is steaming and the ingredients have blended well it is ready to serve. Ladle into mugs (leaving seasonings behind), garnish with a blood orange segment and perhaps black plastic, Halloween spiders and enjoy!
