What could be more French countryside than pulling a chilled bottle of homemade (or at least home-doctored) wine from the fridge for a special celebration or an outdoor evening with friends? This orange sipping wine is a little sweeter and stronger than a regular glass of white, and it's the perfect aperitif. Cook time is chill time.

How To Make spiced orange wine

1
Bring all ingredients except oranges to a boil (reserve wine bottles and corks), stirring until sugar has dissolved.

2
Remove zest from oranges in a continuous spiral using a vegetable peeler and cut off any white pith with a paring knife.
3
Reserve oranges for another use and divide zest between empty wine bottles.
4
Fill bottles with orange wine and cool, leave uncorked for 1 hour. Cork bottles, then chill at least 5 hours.
