Method:

Mix the honey and a little wine in a saucepan. Heat gently until liquid then add the remaining wine and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly.

As soon as the mixture comes to a boil take off the heat then add the spices. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and set aside to infuse over night. Transfer to a bottle and set aside for 1 month to mature (invert the bottle every day to mature). After this time strain through muslin or a coffee filter, re-bottle, stopper tightly and lay down to mature for a year before use.
