Use a vegetable peeler to remove only the outer skin of 2 oranges and the lemon. You want only the colored part for this recipe, leave as much of the bitter white pith behind as possible. Save the fruit for another time.

Combine the wine, liqueur (if using), peels, honey, and spices in a large dutch oven.

Simmer the mixture over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until small bubbles form around the edges.

Reduce the heat to low and keep it at a bare simmer for another 10 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and ladle into heatproof glasses or mugs. Slice the remaining orange into wheels or wedges to garnish glasses and serve.
