How to Make Hot Cranberry Sangria

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups cranberry juice, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup brandy (optional), 1/4 cup sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 4 whole cloves.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warmed through (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Strain the sangria through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe pitcher or container, reserving the cranberries, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and cloves for garnish.
  5. Pour into mugs or heat-resistant glasses. Garnish each serving with the reserved fruit and spices.
