Ingredients

1 gallon distilled water
1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine
1 1/2 cups salt

Line a large stockpot with a large food safe bag. Pour the water, wine, and salt into the bag; stir until the salt is completely dissolved. Squeeze the orange quarters into the liquid and then drop them into the pot. Add the rosemary and give a final stir.
