Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Combine water, sugar, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
Step 2
Cut one orange in half; squeeze orange halves over the sugar mixture to release their juice. Push 5 cloves into the outside of each orange peel; place peels into the simmering mixture. Continue to simmer over the lowest heat until thick and syrupy, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
While the mixture is simmering, slice remaining orange and set aside for serving.
Step 4
When the mixture is finished simmering, stir in wine and heat until steaming but not simmering, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard orange peels and cinnamon stick.
Step 5
Ladle into stoneware mugs and garnish with orange slices.
