Using a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler, cut peel from orange in wide strips, avoiding white pith.

In a large pot, combine orange peel, wine, sugar, cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and star anise. Bring to a bare simmer (do not let simmer or boil) over medium-low heat; cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and serve hot.
