Step 1
Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once it’s melted, add the orange juice and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Next, pour in the kombucha along with the cinnamon sticks and cloves. Let everything simmer gently for around 5 minutes so the flavors can blend nicely. Finally, stir in the brandy, give it a good mix, and pour the warm drink into mugs to enjoy.
