This is how I do it....

2 - 750 ml bottle of red, usually a Merlot.
15 whole cloves
1 tablespoon crushed cardamom pods (not ground)
peel from 1 orange with all pith scraped off (I use 2 to 3 Mandarin oranges
from my trees).
2 cinnamon sticks (about 6-8 inches total length).
30 raisins
1 cup of sugar

raisins for serving
sliced almonds for serving
Vodka or Akvavit for serving

In a small saucepan combine 1-1/2 cups of the wine with the cloves,
cardamom, orange peel, cinnamon, raisins and 1/2 cup of sugar. Place over
low heat and slowly bring to a just below a simmer. Remove from heat and
let stand overnight.

The next day place the wine and spice mixture in a medium saucepan, add the
remaining wine and sugar, and place over low heat and bring to just below a
simmer. Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve discarding the
solids, let cool and bottle. I let it sit at least a week in the bottle.
Serve steaming hot, poured over a few raisins and almonds in a ceramic mug,
and topped with a shot of Vodka or Akvavit.

I just love this stuff, and warms to the bone on a chilly night.
