How to Make Spiced Orange Wine

  1. In a large glass bottle or jug, combine orange zest from 2 oranges, 1 cinnamon stick, 4 whole cloves, and 1 star anise.
  2. Add 1 bottle (750ml) of dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio).
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec).
  4. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) honey or simple syrup (to taste).
  5. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  6. Seal the bottle tightly and store in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight (and up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, strain the wine through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices.
  8. Serve chilled. Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick if desired.
