~ This recipe is very flexible - if you like your mulled wine sweeter, just add more sugar; if you want it stronger, add some brandy or rum. You can also experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg, cardamom, bay leaves or ginger. You can put some kumquats (mini oranges) into the glasses as an optional garnish. ~
