 Categories: Alcohol, Beverages, Christmas
      Yield: 2 Servings

     18 oz Christmas ale; (or Altbier,
           -bock lager, winter warmer
           -ale)
  2 1/2 tb Dark brown sugar; or more
      5    Cloves

      1    Cinnamon stick
    1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
      6    Orange peel pieces
      3 oz Brandy

  The orange peel should be the thin top layer of skin only, without the
  bitter white layer

  In a saucepan or small pot mix the ale (one and a half bottles, 18 oz
  total) with the brown sugar and nutmeg, add the cloves, star anise,
  cinnamon stick and orange peel.

  Bring to gentle simmer (do not allow to boil), stir for sugar to
  dissolve and let simmer for 2-3 minutes to become well infused with
  the spices.

  Remove from heat and add the brandy.

  Serve in mugs, garnished with an orange slice and enjoy.
