Mulling Spices (For Wine/Apple Cider)
"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!"

I ran out of my mix that I usually use so I made this and you couldn't tell that it was homemade. I will definitely be using this again this winter. -
I leave out the orange rind and just use part orange juice with the apple juice that I love mulled. Probably doesn't taste exactly the same but is delish anyway!
