- Leftovers: Remove the spice bag and lemon first. Fridge up to 2 days. Reheat in a pot on the stove and add fresh lemon to garnish.
- Spiked: 1 oz bourbon or rum per 8 oz glass. Or, for adults only, 3/4 to 1 oz per serving stirred into the pot right before serving.
- Swap: Apple cider for the apple juice, mulling spices for the whole spices.
- Serving: Hot, cold or room temperature.
