HOMEMADE MULLING SPICE MIX - perfect for Fall

Not only is this a great mulling spice for hot cider, but it also makes a great potpourri to simmer slowly on the back of your stove during this festive time of year.

Equipment

  • Cookie sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Resealable bag
  • Air-tight container

Ingredients

  • 8 cinnamon sticks
  • ½ bottle whole cardamom seeds
  • 5 whole nutmeg
  • .75 oz whole allspice 1 jar
  • .75 oz whole clove 1 jar
  • star anise 5 or 6
  • dried peel of 2 tangerines or 1 orange

Instructions

  • Peel the citrus and scrape off as much as you can of the white bitter part. I use a sharp knife and hold it at the very tip to scrape everything off easier. Once that’s done, slice the peel into thin strips and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place in a preheated oven to 275-degrees for around 30 to 40 minutes. Once cooled they should be very dry and break easily.
  • In a resealable bag add the cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and cardamom. Cover it with a kitchen towel and give it several good whacks with a rolling pin or mallet. You want to break down the spices a bit.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients to the crushed spices and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
  • To steep, use your tea infuser, muslin sachets or just cheese cloths.
Please Note: I am not a registered dietician. Any nutritional data I provide is an approximation and actual dietary information can vary based on ingredients and portion sizes.

To make a 1/2 a gallon of Hot Cider, I recommend 2 tablespoons of the mulling spice. Add the spices to a large loose tea leaf strainer or tie them in a cheese cloth. Allow the spices to soak for a good 30 minutes, while the cider simmers on low.

For entertaining, place the mulling spices and cider into a slow cooker and let steep for a half hour before first serving. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and other spices as desired.
