How to Make Sbiten Spiced Honey Drink
- Combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup orange peel in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the honey and sugar.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the mixture.
- (Optional) For an alcoholic version, stir in 1/2 cup of vodka or brandy during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
- Remove from heat and let steep for another 5 minutes.
- Strain the sbiten through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices and orange peel.
- Reheat gently if serving warm, or chill thoroughly before serving cold.
