Yield 5 to 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pomegranates
Juice of 3 limes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
7 ounces aged rum
10 pieces star anise
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon mulling spices, or any combination of whole allspice, cloves, cardamom pods and dried or fresh orange peel
4 dried figs, sliced
1 bottle fruity red wine

Steps:

  • Roll the pomegranates on a countertop to soften. Halve them crosswise and hold them, cut side down, over a medium saucepan, hitting the backsides until all the seeds have been released. Add the lime juice, brown sugar, rum, 10 pieces of star anise, cinnamon, mulling spices and 3 of the sliced figs. Bring to a boil and simmer 7 minutes. Add the wine and let it rest, covered, 10 minutes. Serve warm, strained or not, in small mugs garnished with a fig slice and a piece of star anise.
