In a saucepan, add water, cloves, and cinnamon, and bring to a boil.
When it starts boiling, reduce the heat and add the tapioca pearls. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the sweet red wine, sugar, and grape juice powder for intense color, and stir well.
Once it boils again, cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
After this time, check if the tapioca balls are almost transparent. If they are, turn off the heat and let it cool.
