Choose a red wine that isn’t bone-dry—a little fruitiness is just fine here. I like the inexpensive Zweigelt from Erdenlied for this, which conveniently comes in 1-liter bottles. This recipe is easily doubled for a larger crowd.","servings":6,"servings_text":"6 to 8 servings","total_time":"PT45M","ingredients":[{"text":"2 large oranges","item":"large oranges","quantity":2},{"text":"4 ¼ cups/1 liter red wine","item":"cups/1 liter red wine","quantity":4.25},{"text":"1 ¼ cups/10 ounces brandy","item":"cups/10 ounces brandy","quantity":1.25},{"text":"½ cup dark brown sugar","item":"dark brown sugar","quantity":0.5,"unit":"cup"},{"text":"2 cinnamon sticks","item":"cinnamon sticks","quantity":2},{"text":"6 whole cloves","item":"whole cloves","quantity":6},{"text":"3 cardamom pods, slightly crushed","item":"cardamom pods, slightly crushed","quantity":3}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"Using a peeler, remove the peel in strips from 1 orange then juice the orange.
