1 bottle of red wine, such as claret
Pared zest of 1 lemon
3 tbsp Billington’s Demerara Sugar
5cm cinnamon stick

Push 3 cloves into each strip of orange.
Mix the clove-studded orange strips and all the other ingredients together in a large pan. Half fill the wine bottle with water and add to the pan or add 375ml water.
