I came up with this while playing around with sangria recipes. It has now become a traditional beverage at Thanksgiving and Christmas; my family actually got upset the one time I didn't make it! Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar |
4 cranberry-flavored tea bags |
4 slices fresh lemon |
6 whole cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 1/2 cups water |
2 (750 milliliter) bottles white wine |
4 apples, cored and cut into chunks |
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries |
2 fluid ounces apple brandy |
Directions:
1. Place the sugar, tea bags, lemon slices, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and water into a saucepan, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture cool. Strain out and discard the spices, lemon, and tea bags.
2. Pour the white wine into a large jar or covered container, and mix with the tea mixture. Stir in apples and cranberries; mix in the apple brandy. Chill in refrigerator 24 to 48 hours. Serve cold.
