Hot Spiced Sangria Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 2 bottles each red wine and white wine, 1 cup brandy, 1 sliced orange, 2 cups each frozen cherries and frozen peaches, 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 cup simple syrup in a large slow cooker. (To make simple syrup, simmer 1 cup each sugar and water, stirring until dissolved.) Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then keep warm on low until ready to serve. Ladle into glasses.
• If you don't have a slow cooker, keep these drinks warm in a saucepan on the stovetop over low heat.

Steps:

• Heat all ingredients in a saucepan on medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved.
• When liquid is hot but not boiling, remove from heat.
• Let sit 5 minutes, then strain through a fine sieve, reserving fruit.
• Pour liquid into mugs or heat resistant glasses, adding reserved fruit for garnish.
• (Filled with fruit and infused with warm spices, this drink is just as comforting served without the red wine).
