Ingredients

• 4 cups Red grape juice
• 1 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 stick Cinnamon stick
• 5 whole Cloves
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger, sliced
• 6 whole Black peppercorns
• 1 pinch Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the red grape juice and water.

Step 2

Stir in the honey until it is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, sliced ginger, peppercorns, nutmeg, and orange zest to the saucepan.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to just below a simmer. Do not boil, as this can diminish the flavors.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the liquid.

Step 6

After steeping, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or bowl to remove the spices.

Step 7

Serve the Hippocras warm or let it cool to room temperature and serve chilled over ice.

Step 8

Garnish with an additional strip of orange zest or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
