Notes
Keeping it warm: Transfer the mulled "wine" to a slow cooker or keep it on the stove. Keep warm on the lowest heat setting, as higher heat can over-steep the spices and concentrate the sweetness
Storage: Once cooled, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. The flavors actually deepen as it rests, but for the brightest fruit notes, it’s best enjoyed within 5 to 7 days.
