Couple of my tweaks from decades of loving mulled wine: 1) Cinnamon... For this purpose try to find Ceylon/true cinnamon. In many countries Cassia "cinnamon" is mainly sold in stores and it is the one with much harsher notes. 2) Oranges. I use two smaller or one larger orange per 750ml bottle but, HOW to use for best results. I first zest them into the wine. Then I squeeze the juice into the wine and then I place squeezed halves into the wine for heating. 3) I always use clove spice too. About 10 cloves per bottle. 4) Finally, to the 750ml bottle amount I add about a cup of brandy...

If you are extra worried about lowering the ABV from the mulling, you can add about 5-15 mL of a neutral grain spirit. Like vodka or everclear. I would not add a lot, but it won't add more water to the drink and the fruits and spices will cover up any possible flavors. This would be akin to fortifying your wine.

Thank you! How do you suggest we serve it? Should it be filtered, or do you serve with fruit and spices in each cup?

Personally I prefer to serve with fruit in each cup but it depends on your preferences)

I would like to point out that there was no actual recipe stated. Just guidelines for making mulled wine. From what I gathered, the below recipe might be a good place to start: Per 1 bottle of cheap high ABV wine- 1-2 oranges, sliced with skin on 1 granny smith apple, sliced with skin on 1/2 stick of cinnamon 1 star anise 2 cloves 1 tsp Honey Optional: Cardamom, ginger, and/or allspice (Make sure to use whole spices and not cracked or ground.) On medium heat, bring to a light simmer, but do not boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 5-10 mins. Add the honey when cooling. Strain the drink and serve warm.
