I came across this recipe when searching for a recipe to prepare mulling spices to give as a gift (not to make a mulled drink). This is great to save some money (those store-bought mulling spices are EXPENSIVE) or *perfect* to slip into a gift basket or even put in a nice mug as a simple, thoughtful gift! Ingredients:
6 whole cardamom |
1 tablespoon whole cloves |
1 tablespoon whole allspice |
1 teaspoon orange rind |
12 whole cinnamon sticks |
Directions:
1. Open cardamon pods and remove seeds; crust lightly.
2. Combine seeds with cloves, allspice and orange peel.
3. Place 2 teaspoons of spice mixture in the center of a 4 inch square of cheesecloth or muslin; bring corners together and tie with string to make a bag.
4. Tie 3 cinnamon sticks to each bag; repeat with remaining spice mixture.
5. Directions for use: Place 1 bag in 1 quart apple cider, cranberry juice or red wine.
6. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Serve warm.
