Mulling Spices for Cider
Here's a great easy gift idea. Combine spices into a jar for making mulled cider, wine, or use as a room fragrance.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cinnamon stick pieces
- 1.5 cups orange rind peel cut up
- 1.75 cups whole cloves
- 1.5 cups allspice berries
- 1 cup pink peppercorns
Instructions
- Combine all the spices in a large bowl.
- Fill each jar with spices, leaving a little room at the top for a drawstring teabag.
- Fold up the teabag and place it on top.
- Print out labels for recipe instructions and glue them on top of jars.
- To use, place 3 tablespoons of mix in a bag or tea ball, or directly in one gallon of apple cider in a large pot on the stove.
- Simmer for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
The spice mix can be placed directly in the pot, but if you are worried about straining it, you can use a tea ball, drawstring teabag, or muslin pouch.
For making mulled wine, use 1 tablespoon per standard bottle of red wine.
For room fragrance, use 1 tablespoon per pot of simmering water.
