Anyone have a good mulled wine recipe?

This yummy recipe is compliments of Mirassou Winery in CA:

3 cups water 12 cloves
1 cup sugar peel of 1 lemon
1 cinnamon stick

Simmer 10 mins, then add:

1/2 cup brandy
2 (750 ml) dry red wine

Do not boil. Bring to coffee temp.

OK, so here is how I solved my problem. I re-processed all the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes after full boil. All the jars sealed this time. I did wipe all the jars down before putting the lids on. This recipe is a family one, passed down through at least 3 generations. And, yes, I didn't use the water method the 1st time, but will in the future. My mom never processed this in water, so I was doing it her way. all other fruits and veggies were given the bath treatment, but never her jams and jellies. Live and learn. thanks for all the great input.
