There’s room for variation in creating a mulled wine that you enjoy…if there are spices you dislike, leave them out. If there are ones you really love in heavy doses, feel free to add more.
Gently warm, until hot, but not boiling. You’ll notice the longer it heats, or if it gets too hot, some cloudiness will being to appear. Then carefully ladle into glasses and garnish as you wish. Personally, I enjoy seeing the fruits and spices, so I don’t strain it. If you wish to remove the spices and fruits once it’s to your liking, you may do so.
