mulling spice mix

Mulling spice mixes vary widely in their formulation. Many western cultures have cultivated traditions around the mulled wine punches made from these spices and each has imparted its own stamp on the blend of spices they steep. Most have cinnamon and some form of citrus. Cloves are also popular as are allspice berries, but there are variations that include black peppercorn, ginger root, star anise and/or cardamom. Our formulation is made many of the popular inclusions: cinnamon chips, dried orange peel, whole clove buds, whole allspice berries, decorticated cardamom seeds, and some star anise for a touch of licorice.

With this line up of spices it's not a surprise that mulled wine is a favourite during the holiday season. If you haven't had a chance to wrap your hands around a warm mug of spiced wine during the holidays we invite you to try it out.

Remember too that mulled spice mix is often dropped into a pot of water and made to simmer over the stove for hours as an aromatic potpourri. Your house will smell of Christmas.

Either way mulling spices will make a great holiday infusion.
