Notes
- For blueberry mulled wine, add 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries.
- For sweeter/less bitter mulled wine, remove the peel from the orange before adding it to the pot. The longer the orange peel steeps in the wine, the more bitter the finished drink will be.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 to 5 days, straining before storing.
