1. Place the sugar in a small saucepan. Use a vegetable peeler to peel large sections of the orange into the saucepan, being careful to avoid scraping the white pith. Once peeled, cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into the saucepan.
2. Add the clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Pour in 3/4 cup of red wine. Bring the contents to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and boil for 3 minutes.
3. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining wine and star anise over medium-low for about 5 minutes.
4. To serve, ladle 5 ounces (a typical glass of wine) of hot wine into a serving glass. Stir in a tablespoon of the syrup, and 1/2 ounce of TUACA. Garnish with an orange wheel, if desired.
