Clarence's Mulled Wine Recipe

from It's a Wonderful Life

It's almost time for 'It's a Wonderful Life' to be on our TVs or perhaps you have it on tape or DVD. There is quite a bit of drinking enjoyed in the film, the thought of wine bringing love and joy to those who drink it. Clarence, the angel, is also a fan. Apparently the Heavenly Host enjoyed wine! When he's in the "Evil" bar, he asks for a glass of mulled wine that is "heavy on the cinnamon (Clearly an everythingcinnamon fan!!!), easy on the cloves." So, what would such a recipe be like? Here's a version of:
