I came up with this while playing around with sangria recipes. It has now become a traditional beverage at Thanksgiving and Christmas; my family actually got upset the one time I didn't make it!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 4 cranberry-flavored tea bags

  • 4 slices fresh lemon

  • 6 whole cloves

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 2 (750 milliliter) bottles white wine

  • 4 apples, cored and cut into chunks

  • 1 ½ cups dried cranberries

  • 2 fluid ounces apple brandy

Directions

  1. Place the sugar, tea bags, lemon slices, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and water into a saucepan, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture cool. Strain out and discard the spices, lemon, and tea bags.

  2. Pour the white wine into a large jar or covered container, and mix with the tea mixture. Stir in apples and cranberries; mix in the apple brandy. Chill in refrigerator 24 to 48 hours. Serve cold.

Cook's Note:

I have made a kid-friendly version of this using white grape juice in place of the wine and a 1/4 cup of apple juice as the "kick!"
