For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. Experiment with adding other spices like star anise, nutmeg, or cardamom. If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with 1/4 cup of sugar and add more to taste. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the red wine with grape juice or cranberry juice. Make sure not to boil the mixture as that will burn off the alcohol.
