- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 whole cloves
- 1 strip orange zest
- 1 strip lemon zest

Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, and slice them into round slices about 1 cm thick. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine, sugar, water, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, orange zest, and lemon zest.
