Ingredients
  

  • 1 orange
  • 16 cloves
  • 6 liters white wine I like dry Reisling. Auslese or a dry German wine is good.

  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 8 cinnamon sticks broken
  • 14 whole allspice seeds
  • 6 cardamom pods crushed

For serving:

Instructions
 

  • Stud the orange with cloves. Slice in half.

    Fresh lemon and orange slices steeping in hot water with spices, creating a flavorful infused citrus drink.
  • Add studded orange, lemon and spices.
  • Simmer on very low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes. If using a slow cooker, set on low for 2 hours.
    Lemon and citrus fruit slices simmering in a pot with spices for homemade citrus syrup.
