Ingredients

• 750 ml Dry red wine
• 120 ml Spiced rum
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 1 large Orange
• 1 small Lemon
• 2 Cinnamon sticks
• 6 Whole cloves
• 2 Star anise
• 240 ml Water
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg (optional)
• 2 slices Orange slices or peel (for garnish)
• 1 Cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the orange and lemon thoroughly. Slice half the orange into thin rounds, and juice the remaining half. Juice the lemon as well.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, add the water, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, star anise, and orange slices. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the spices to steep in the water for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the red wine. Stir in the honey until dissolved.

Step 4

Add the orange juice, lemon juice, and spiced rum to the mixture. Stir well.

Step 5

Raise the heat slightly and warm the mixture, but do not allow it to boil. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed. If you enjoy more spice, sprinkle in ground nutmeg as an optional addition.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and strain the mixture to remove the cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and orange slices.

Step 8

Ladle the hot toddy spiced red wine rum into mugs or heatproof glasses. Garnish each serving with a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick for an inviting presentation.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy responsibly!
