Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine the wine, cider, maple syrup, cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, star anise, cloves and cardamom. Stir.
Heat over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until the wine is very hot and steaming. Do not let it boil.
Remove from the heat and add the rum or cognac. Taste and add a little more maple syrup if needed.
Pour through a strainer to remove the spices and zest. Put the cranberries back in the wine.
Ladle into mugs. Garnish with an orange slice, a cinnamon stick and a few cranberries.
