I love the smells that are associated with Christmas.  Pumpkin, gingerbread and especially cinnamon.  For years, I have simmered this Mulling Spices Recipe on my stove top as the holidays have approached.

Some days I will add a few slices of oranges to give it a little citrusy smell.  Other days I might drop a few drops of almond extract for an even sweeter smell.

Another great thing about this Mulling Spices Recipe is that you can also use it to prepare a wonderfully spiced apple cider.

Mulling Spices Recipe

Here is what you will need:

3 oz cinnamon sticks
⅓ cup cardamom pods
¼ cup allspice berries
¼ cup whole cloves
¼ cup star anise pods
⅓ cup dried orange peel – store bought or dried in oven

 

Instructions:

Place cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, allspice berries, cloves and star anise in large resealable bag


Crush lightly with rolling pin


Add orange peel to bag and toss to mix well
Store in airtight container

If you are simmering this on your stove, just place in a small pot with some water on low heat.

To serve as a drink, add 2 tablespoons of mix per ½ gallon of warm apple cider
