In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar and cinnamon stick
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer
Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into the simmering water
Push the cloves into the outside of the orange peel, and place peel in the simmering water
Continue simmering for 30 minutes, until thick and syrupy
For alcohol based Glühwein
Pour in 750 ml red wine and heat until steaming but not simmering
Remove the clove-studded orange halves
Serve hot in mugs or glasses that have been preheated in warm water (cold glasses will break)
For non alcoholic based Glühwein
Add grape juice instead of wine
To Serve
