Ingredients

• 750 ml Red wine
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Orange
• 1 whole Cinnamon stick
• 6 whole Cloves
• 2 whole Star anise
• 250 ml Water
• 2 tbsp Brandy (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pour the red wine and water into a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir gently until dissolved.

Step 3

Peel the orange and add the peel (avoid the bitter white pith) to the saucepan. Then juice the orange and add the juice as well.

Step 4

Drop the cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise into the mixture.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not boil, as you don't want to cook off the alcohol completely.

Step 6

Simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the liquid.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids.

Step 8

Optionally, stir in 2 tablespoons of brandy for an extra kick.

Step 9

Pour the strained mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and place in the freezer.

Step 10

Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals and ensure a smooth sorbet texture. Repeat this process for 3-4 hours until the sorbet is fully frozen.

Step 11

Once frozen, scoop the sorbet into serving bowls and garnish with an orange twist or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
