German Mulled Wine

If you don't happen to have a box of spices that your dad brought you from Germany, here's a simple recipe that is delicious on cold nights:

1 lg bottle of dry red wine (burgundy, zinfandel, sauvignon)
15 whole cloves
1-2 lg cinnamon sticks, broken into pieces
1-2 star anise
1/2 whole nutmeg
1 orange, remove peel in one piece and slice fruit
1/2 c sugar, or to taste
1 bag ceylon black tea

Heat wine over medium-high heat. Do not boil. Add all other ingredients once wine is warm. Cook for 15-20 minutes until steam rises off the top. Do not let it boil. Remove tea bag and orange peel. Strain, and drink warm.
