Spicy, bitter, sweet and tipsy all describe this decadent sauce. It's a great addition to a homemade spicy BBQ glaze, poured over ice cream or even used as a fondue dip (for cheese, fruit or pound cake!). Mulling spices traditionally include cinnamon, allspice, cloves, mace and cardamom - it is commonly available in the spice section of grocery stores.
