    • 2
  • Add the cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cardamom, one sliced orange, and one sliced pear. You can also use mulling spice mix as well. If you go that route, use 1 to 2 tablespoons.
    • 3
  • Bring to a very gentle simmer but do not let the mixture boil; otherwise, the alcohol will cook out. Stir every 10 minutes or so and simmer at low heat for one hour (or up to 3 hours).
    • 4
  • Remove spices and mulled fruit. Add cranberries, pomegranate, and another sliced orange and pear. Let infuse for 10 to 15 minutes at low heat, then serve warm.
