Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

1. Pour the wine into a pot, add orange² and apple⁷ slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cardamom pods.

2. Heat over low heat for 10–12 minutes until it reaches 70–75 °C (steaming but not boiling—boiling ruins the flavor and alcohol).

3. Remove from heat, stir in the honey, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.

4. Strain into warm mugs, adding an orange² slice to each.
