Description
About four small cups of orange-and-cinnamon spiced hot grape juice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups 100% purple grape juice
- 1 medium orange Orange, thinly sliced
- 2 sticks Whole cinnamon sticks
- 4 cloves Whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Pour 4 cups 100% purple grape juice into a medium saucepan. Add slices from one washed medium orange, two whole cinnamon sticks and four whole cloves.
- Heat over medium-low until steaming, then maintain a gentle simmer approximately 15 minutes without reducing to a syrup or boiling hard. Turn off the heat, cover and steep about ten more minutes.
- Strain carefully, discarding the whole spices and orange slices, then stir in 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Taste the measured batch before adding anything else; no extra sugar is in this formula.
- Ladle into four heatproof small cups and measure actual final volume after a trial. Serve hot without an alcohol claim or a caffeine claim; this recipe is juice-based and has no tea, coffee or wine ingredient.
