NOTES
Notes:
If you are making the variation with alcohol free red wine, leave the water out.
You may need to add a little brown sugar if you are using the alcohol free red wine. To do this, complete the whole recipe, then taste when the wine is still warm on the stovetop. If it needs a little sweetness, add a small amount of brown sugar, stir until it dissolves, then taste. Repeat this process until it reaches your preferred sweetness.
