4 bitter oranges, quartered (Seville oranges are good)
1 sweet orange, quartered
juice of 1/2 lemon

Method:
Combine the wine, brandy, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla pod and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the orange pieces to a large jar, pour over the wine and spice mix then close with a tight-fitting lid, shake to combine and set aside to mature for about 40 days.
After this time strain the contents of the jar, pressing down on the orange pieces to remove their liquid. Pour into bottles, secure corks or caps and lay down for a year to mature before use.
