Spiced Orange Wine

People talking
What could be more French countryside than pulling a chilled bottle of homemade (or at least home-doctored) wine from the fridge for a special celebration? This orange sipping wine is a little sweeter and stronger than a regular glass of white, and it's the perfect aperitif. Cook time is chill time.

Lovely aromas, made with white wine, Pernod and Grand Marnier!

Made as directed, except halved the recipe since it was just me! I felt like a character in a Faulkner novel, sitting on my back porch sipping this, watching the sunset and listening to the crickets chirp. This is the perfect compliment to a Southern summer. Thanks for this! I will be using this repeatedly! [Made for Newest Zaar]
