Where to find ingredients
For the dry red wine, any affordable supermarket Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon from NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Giant will work perfectly. Blackcurrant syrup can be found in the cordials or drink mixers aisle of most major supermarkets in Singapore (look for brands like Ribena). Cloves and cinnamon sticks are staples in the herbs and spices section of any local grocery store or 'wet market' spice vendor. If you cannot find whole spices, ensure they are fresh to get the best aroma.
Preparation method
- In a pot, bring the water to a boil with the cloves and cinnamon sticks
- Pour in the red wine and the blackcurrant syrup
- Keep the mixture on low heat until it just begins to simmer
- Serve immediately while piping hot
