1
Prepare the Fruit
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh blackberries and sugar. Gently muddle the blackberries with the sugar until they start to break down and release their juices.
2
Mix the Wine and Spices
In a large pot, pour in the red wine. Add the lemon juice, cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, and orange zest. Stir gently to combine.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the muddled blackberry and sugar mixture to the pot with the wine and spices. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Heat the Mixture
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil, as this will cook off the alcohol.
5
Simmer
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the flavors meld together.
6
Strain and Serve
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a large pitcher or individual glasses to remove the solids.
7
Garnish
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
