Notes
Type of sugar: The time of sugar is not defined in the original recipe so superfine was chosen due to how easily it dissolves to make the syrup base for this recipe.
Serving size: The serving size of this wine is one literal glass of mulled wine so if you love mulled wine you should definitely double the recipe as this heats up incredibly well a day or two after being made.
