Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Do not boil or you will boil off most of the alcohol. Once you reach a simmer, turn heat to low and keep simmering for another 15 minutes allowing the flavors to infuse.
Ladle into glasses and use any of the optional garnishes if you wish.
Enjoy!
