Mulled Wine
(Susan - slehmkuhl517)

2 cups water sweetener equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar
4 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
1 fresh whole nutmeg
2 oranges, thinly sliced
1 bottle red wine

Combine 2 cups of water with the sweetener and spices in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Add the orange slices, remove pan from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Stir in the wine. Reheat gently over low heat, never allowing to boil. Serve hot, in heated glasses. Not exactly low carb but tastes great on a cold day.
