Mulling spices take wine and apple cider to new levels of warm coziness.

Ingredients

15 cinnamon sticks, crushed into chips (I just use a rolling pin)
4 tablespoons whole cloves
4 tablespoons whole allspice
2 tablespoons dried orange peel
other spices as desired: whole cardamom pods, star anise, peppercorns of any color, etc

Instructions

Crush the cinnamon and place in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the cloves, allspice, and dried orange peel, then toss the mixture with your hands until well mixed.
Spoon into gift jars or an air-tight container for long-term use.
Use within one year for best results, but as long as the orange peel is fully dry, the mixture can be stored indefinitely.
