Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 2 bottles of red wine
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 10 whole cloves
- 12 whole cardamom pods
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Directions
- Pour wine into a saucepan on medium heat.
- Stir in sugar.
- Wash and dry the orange.
- Stick cloves, cardamom pods and cinnamon sticks firmly into the orange. Arrange any way you like — perhaps as an alien with cinnamon-stick antennae. Cute, and makes retrieving spices easy.
- Drop orange into wine; simmer until flavorful, about 30 minutes.
- Remove alien. Scoop wine into mugs. Serve hot.
