A warm, comforting spice blend, with a fun peppery hint that recalls the festive smells of the Holidays.

Mulled wine is popular in northern and eastern Europe. It’s usually made with red wine, spices and honey (see recipe). Most people associate it with Christmas, but it’s also great for a day outdoors during autumn or winter.

In addition to mulled wine, Mulling Spices is excellent in hard cider or even in plain apple cider. This blend is also for baking: use it in apple desserts, jams and jellies, homemade granola, muffins or even gingerbread.
