Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients listed above.
-
Heat Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the cranberry juice, dry red wine, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and nutmeg. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Simmer: Allow the mixture to heat until it’s hot but not boiling. This typically takes around 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil to preserve the flavors.
-
Remove from Heat: Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat source.
-
Infuse Flavors: Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and infuse the liquid.
-
Strain: After the mixture has rested, strain it through a fine sieve to remove any solid ingredients, such as cinnamon sticks and cloves. Make sure to reserve the fruit for garnish.
-
Serve: Pour the hot sangria into mugs or heat-resistant glasses. Add some of the reserved fruit to each serving as a garnish.
-
Enjoy: Sip and savor the warm, aromatic flavors of this delightful Hot Cranberry Sangria. It’s perfect for cozy winter evenings or festive holiday gatherings.
-
Optional: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the red wine. The fruit-infused juice with warm spices will still make a delicious and comforting drink.
