Heat the wine in a pot with all the spices, except the raisins. Do not boil.

Here's heaps of glogg and mulled wine version, but this is the version I like the best. Perfect for

I'm a bit confused about the instructions on the spices. Do you put them in the cheesecloth first then put in the heated wine or do you put the spices in loose and then heat up the wine? Perhaps you skipped a step somewhere?

I would imagine the spices (orange zest, cinnamon sticks, cardamon seeds, cloves, almonds) would be tied up into a cheese cloth bundle and added into the pot while the wine is heating. This would make it easy to separate them out before adding the raisins and serving.
