This sweet, comforting drink will warm you up on a chilly day, or when you're halfway down a ski slope.

Juice of 2 oranges, plus the peel of 1
Juice of 1 lemon, plus the peel of 1/2
100g Woolworths Essentials Brown Sugar
2 star anise
2 cinnamon quills, plus extra to serve
2 bay leaves
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
4 cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated, plus extra to serve
2 bottles pinot noir

Method

1.

Place citrus juice, peel, sugar, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg and 2 cups (500ml) of water into a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavours and reduce slightly.
2.

Add wine and bring barely to a boil (be careful not to boil the wine – you don’t want to boil off the alcohol) over medium heat. Reduce heat to very low and barely simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and divide among serving glasses. Serve with extra cinnamon quills and grated nutmeg.
