Ladle the Bisschopswijn into the warmed glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a fresh orange slice or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Experiment with adding other spices like star anise, nutmeg, or cardamom.
If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with 1/4 cup of sugar and add more to taste.
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the red wine with grape juice or cranberry juice.
Make sure not to boil the mixture as that will burn off the alcohol.
