The best thing to keep warm in the winter.

Slice the orange and stud with cloves. Slice the lemon as well. Combine all ingredients except the cognac in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for about half an hour. Now add a cup of cognac and simmer for another 15 minutes. Season to taste. The lemon might overpower the flavor. I solved this problem by adding half an orange. Now let it steep for a bit, and your winter warmer is ready.
