Whole Spice Mulling Mix for Wine or Cider

"From About.com - Linda Larsen - Your Guide to Busy Cooks. This one just reminds me of autumn. It is a relatively mild mulling spice without the bite of some and is particularly useful as it tastes good in both cider and wine."

directions

  • Double cheese cloth & cut 14 5-inch squares. Cut 14 10-inch pieces of string.
  • Place cinnamon sticks and nutmeg into a plastic bag & crush until approximately the size of the smaller spices using a meat mallet or heavy pan.
  • Place in a bowl & mix with remaining smaller spices.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the 14 cheesecloth squares, about three heaping teaspoons each. Tie each square with string.
  • For mulled wine - Create a simple syrup by dissolving 1/3 cup sugar into 1/2 cup water over low heat. Add 3-1/4 cups wine & spice bag. Cover and bring to just below a boil. Remove spice bag & discard.
  • For mulled cider - Add spice bag to 8 cups apple cider (I prefer fresh, refridgerated cider). Bring to just below a boil and simmer 30 - 25 minutes. Remove spice bag & discard.
  • Serving suggestion - Serve in a warmed mug. Footed looks really neat. I also serve with a cinnamon stick standing in for a swizzle stick.

I love to cook. It has been a passion since I could walk. I remember standing at my mother's side as a wee thing helping with the all important task of making the night's J-ello. I was so proud of myself. While the recipes have gotten more sophisticated, the feeling has never diappeared. I still love to cook and now to bake for friends and family. The sense of accomplishment that comes from a well prepared meal is unparalleled in this universe. To those of you who understand this love affair with food, salut!
