Mulled Wine

Nice and warm for the winter...

1 navel orange
4 cups apple juice
2 Tb honey
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
6 whole allspice berries
10 cinnamon sticks
1 bottle dry red wine

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from the orange in long strips.
In a large saucepan, gently simmer the zest, apple juice, honey, ginger, allspice and 2 cinnamon sticks for 20 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook just until heated through. Serve hot with the remaining cinnamon sticks.
