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 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
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.

Place the wine on the bottom shelf of the June Oven. Slow-cook the mulled wine on Low for 1½ hours, until the wine is infused with the spices and orange zest. June will notify you when the wine is ready.
