In a mixing bowl, combine the **cherry puree** and the **orange puree**. If you're using frozen orange puree, simply allow it to thaw slightly for easier mixing. Make sure both purees blend well together for a harmonious flavor.

To the fruit puree mixture, add the **ground ginger**, **ground nutmeg**, and **ground cardamom**. Then, introduce the **cinnamon sticks**, **whole cloves**, and **star anise**. These spices will give your mulled wine cubes a truly aromatic essence.

Now, fold in the slices of **dried orange** into the mixture. This step enhances the overall flavor profile and finishes off your blend beautifully. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the puree mixture.

Stir all ingredients together until everything is well combined. It’s important to ensure the spices are evenly mixed in with the fruit purees. This will help infuse every cube with flavor when frozen.

Pour your mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds. Feel free to fill them to the top, as these will provide delightful bursts of flavor when added to hot beverages. Place the trays in your freezer, and let them set for at least **4-6 hours** or until completely frozen.

Once frozen, pop out your mulled wine cubes and store them in a resealable freezer bag. Use these cubes in hot **wine** or **non-alcoholic mulled drinks**. Enjoy the warmth and spice of winter with each delightful sip!
