Combine all ingredients in a non-aluminum saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat being careful not to boil. Add the oranges, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise in cheesecloth and secure with kitchen string. Add spice bundle to wine. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let the wine simmer for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 3 hours. Strain, and serve warm with your desired garnishes.
