1
Combine Base Ingredients
In a large saucepan, combine the red wine, cardoon extract, sugar, and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
2
Add Herbs
Add the mixed herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary) to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
3
Infuse the Mixture
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture infuse for about 15 minutes.

4
Add Spices
After 15 minutes of infusion, add the cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, and orange peel to the saucepan.
5
Simmer Again
Continue to simmer the mixture for an additional 10 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.

6
Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the solids.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the Cardamaro to cool to room temperature before serving. It can be served chilled or at room temperature.
