Steps:
- Combine the wine, sugar, orange zest, peppercorns, salt, basil and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to help dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to steep for an additional 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher.
- Divide the gelato among six coffee cups. Pour the warm wine syrup over the top, and serve with demitasse spoons.
ALMOND AFFOGATO
Steps:
- In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, mix together the espresso and almond extract. Scoop 1/2 cup of the ice cream into each of 4 dessert bowls or glasses. Pour 1 shot of hot espresso or 2 tablespoons of the espresso powder mixture over each. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.
AFFOGATO
Steps:
- To assemble: Pour the liqueur in a tall coffee cup, preferably crystal - as to see inside the dessert. Scoop one large scoop of vanilla gelato (or ice cream) in the bottom of the glass. Finish with a shot of freshly brewed espresso.
- Combine the milk, cream and sugar in a medium-sized nonreactive saucepan. Add the vanilla beans and seeds to mixture, or add the vanilla bean extract. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until the sugar is dissolved, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of the hot milk-cream mixture into the yolks, then return the warmed yolks to the milk-cream mixture, stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon or measures 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture through a fine strainer into a metal bowl. Put the bowl on another bowl partially filled with ice and stir to chill completely. Transfer the liquid to the canister of an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions for gelato. When frozen, transfer the gelato to an airtight container and store in the freeze.

AFFOGATO
L'affogato al caffè, a dessert of gelato drowned in espresso, is "one of Italy's most delectable modern dishes," writes Anna Del Conte in her "Gastronomy of Italy." The ice cream can be fior di latte, vanilla or chocolate, or whatever you like. Dulce de leche, with its caramelized milkiness, would be wonderful, as would cherry amaretto. The magic of affogato is that you get two pleasures in one: a spoonable dessert sauced with coffee, and a cream-blushed drink to chase it. The sweet ice cream and bitter coffee should enhance, not overtake each other. Like the best partners, they should meet in the middle.

Steps:
- Make the espresso first so it can sit while you scoop the gelato. If you don't have a moka pot or an espresso machine, run to the nearest coffee shop.
- Add the very cold gelato to a small shallow bowl or glass that's been chilled in the freezer until frosty and cold to the touch.
- Slowly pour the hot espresso in a thin stream directly over the gelato, draping the entire surface of the scoop with an even layer of coffee. You can add a splash of amaretto here if you'd like (the almond flavor would be welcome), but the best affogato is a simple affogato. Just be sure to start eating it before the gelato completely melts: In each bite, you want solid spoonfuls of the gelato thinly draped in coffee.
