How to Make Shaker Spiced Grape Juice

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of grape juice, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the grape juice. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and let steep for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Strain the spiced grape juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or heatproof container to remove the spices (optional).
  5. Serve warm. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or orange slice, if desired.
