Mulled wine or cider is the perfect beverage for holiday parties or quiet evenings in. To make a delicious mulled beverage, put these mulling spices in a teaball or muslin bag and simmer in water for 20 minutes to release the flavors. Discard the water, pour in the wine, cider or brandy, and gently heat. Remove the mulling spices and make sure to serve it piping hot. For a standard bottle of wine or brandy, use 1 tablespoon of spices; for cider, use 3 tablespoons per gallon. To give your kitchen a festive scent for the holidays, just keep a small handful of mulling spices simmering in a pan or crockpot. Ingredients: Cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cardamom, mace.
I ordered the mulling spices in September as we like to have those aromatics throughout the house during the fall. We are so pleased with the overall product, packaging and customer services. Our house smells like fall, Thanksgiving and a Pumpkin patch all in one. I will be ordering more.
I love to mull cider and wine during the holidays. This blend is exactly the right balance of fragrance and spicy flavor.
I prep a batch of mulled cider or mulled mead to thaw us out after a bout of snow shoveling. The spices make the house smell fantastic and add multiple layers of brightness and warmth to the flavors. I also add orange peel when simmering the cider.
