  1. Boil cinnamon, cloves, and mace in half a pint of water.
  2. Pour in one bottle of port wine and, when it is nearly boiling, add two lemons thinly sliced.
  3. Sweeten to taste and serve hot.

Garnish: Thin lemon slices in the drink.

Cook presents Oxford Mull as a straightforward hot university drink beside the more ceremonious Bishop lineage.

This is a direct heated build rather than a clarified or iced punch process.

Unlike Bishop, this version uses thin lemon slices and no roasted citrus flourish.
