Toast the spices
Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. If using a covered casserole dish that isn’t heatproof, use a medium saute pan. Add the cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, allspice, cloves and cardamom pods. Swirling and shaking the pan constantly, toast the spices until they are fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

Add the wine
Add the wine to stop the cooking. If using a covered casserole dish, immediately pour the spices into the dish to prevent burning and add the wine.
2 bottles red wine
Peel the orange
Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel 5 thick strips of zest from the orange, avoiding the white pith as much as possible as it is bitter. If desired, use a paring knife to scrape any white pith off the strips. Add the orange peels to the dutch oven or dish and cover.

Mull the wine
