Ingredients 

  • 1 bottle sweet mead
  • 2 orange slices
  • 3 slices fresh ginger
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 2 oz apricot brandy, or apple, pear, or regular brandy
  • ¼ cup honey, or more to taste
  • extra cinnamon sticks and star anise, for garnish

Instructions 

  • In a saucepan, combine the mead, orange slices, fresh ginger, cinnamon sticks, whole star anise, and whole cloves. Place over medium heat and allow the mead to warm up. Turn the heat down to low before it begins to simmer. Allow to steep on low for 30 to 60 minutes. Do not allow the mead to boil which would evaporate the alcohol.
  • After steeping the mead, add the apricot brandy and honey to taste. Strain the fruit and spices from the mead and serve in mugs. Garnish with cinnamon sticks or whole star anise. Enjoy!
