To use the mulled wine mix, you will need to add to a large pot the Sangiovese red wine, the peel of 1 orange and the peel of 1 lemon, and pour in all the mix from the jar.
Bring to a medium flame, stir, and once it starts boiling, let it boil for 8/10 minutes, then turn off and strain with a fine mesh strainer (to remove spices and fruit peels) pouring it into a glass bottle with the help of a funnel.
You can drink it hot immediately after preparation or store it in an airtight glass bottle and heat the amount you want when you feel like enjoying it!
