Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wine Mixture

    In a large glass or ceramic container, combine the red wine, gentian root, cinchona bark, and bitter orange peel. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Infusion Time

    Cover the container and let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors and bitterness to infuse.

Creating the Sweetened Base

  1. 3

    Make Sugar Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat.

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Add the vanilla bean (split), cloves, and cinnamon stick to the sugar syrup. Let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes.

Combining and Finishing

  1. 5

    Strain and Combine

    After the infusion time, strain the wine mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container to remove solid ingredients.

  2. 6

    Mix Sweetened Base

    Combine the strained wine mixture with the prepared sugar syrup. Stir well to mix.

  3. 7

    Add Zests

    Add the orange and lemon zests to the mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the flavors.

  4. 8

    Bottle and Store

    Transfer the BYRRH into bottles and seal tightly. Allow it to rest for at least another 24 hours before serving to develop the flavors.
