Chase the cold away with this winter warmer

The temperature is dropping outside so it is time to find a winter warmer to chase the cold away. Mulled wine with its scents of orange and cinnamon makes your home smell inviting whether you are preparing it for a cozy night in front of the fire or for a holiday gathering with all your friends.
Ingredients:

*3 tbsp loose-leaf tea or 6 teabags (English Breakfast or Earl Grey work well)
*1 liter of boiling water
*1 whole orange
*2 -3 cloves
*1 stick of cinnamon
*1 bottle of red wine (choose a good red wine with a rich flavor)
*sugar to taste
* lemon slices

Method:

*Cut the orange in thick slices and place in a non-stick or stainless steel pot.
*Add the cinnamon stick, cloves and tea.
*Add the water and bring to a boil.
*Reduce the heat and add the wine.
*Stir and add sugar to taste. Heat just enough for the sugar to dissolve.
*Serve with sliced lemon.
