Cómo preparar Wine Reduction Frozen Cubes
Heat 1 liter of your favorite red or white wine (or a combination) to a boil in a large, non-aluminum saucepan.
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the wine is reduced to approximately 500ml (2 cups), about 90 minutes. (Note: cooking time may vary depending on your stove and the type of wine used.)
Remove from heat and let cool completely for at least 30 minutes.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the reduction to fully chill.
Pour the chilled wine reduction into ice cube trays.
Freeze until solid.
Once frozen, pop the cubes out of the trays and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for long-term storage.
Store frozen cubes for up to 12 months.
