This would also work with a dryish apple cider. If you want to make sure no one accidentally swallows a clove, gather up the spices in a square of muslin and tie with string.
This will sit over a gentle heat on the hob for a few hours. After 2 hours, remove the muslin bag with the spices as they can turn bitter.
Alternatively, cool the mulled cider, without the spices, and chill for up to 48 hours before reheating.
