How to make the coziest pot

Step 1:

Float two cinnamon sticks and a few star anise pods in your cider.

Step 2:

Fill a cheesecloth tea bag about halfway with Sweater Weather mulling spices and tie it tightly.

Step 3:

Add the tea bag to 1 gallon of apple cider or wine.

Step 4:

Simmer on low for at least 30 minutes, or let it infuse longer for deeper, cozier flavor.

For mulled wine: Keep the heat on very low. Boiling can cause the alcohol to cook out and lead to a bitter flavor, so a gentle simmer is best.
