On a cold winters night, there is nothing better than drinking a nice warm drink by the fire.
We love to sip on homemade hot cocoa and Chai tea to warm us up.
However, we like to have a little adult drink for special nights. We make spiced mulled wine to sip during the holiday times. It tastes just like Christmas. Today I am going to share all the best ingredients for mulling spices with you.

1/2 teaspoon cloves

Directions How to Make a Homemade Mulling Spice Recipe
I like to use whole spices for this recipe. I store them in a little container and I use about a tablespoon of mix per batch.
Gather all the ingredients together and mix in a container. Feel free to double or triple the recipe to make a large batch at one time. Store in an air tight container.

How to Enjoy Mulling Spices
How long do mulling spices last?
They can last up to four years as whole spices. Over time the spices will lose their potency. But as a general rule spices will remain good to use for at least 4 to 3 years.
What can you make with mulling spices?
With just a few more ingredients you can make spiced mulled wine for those cold winter nights, or you can make spiced apple cider with a container of apple juice for the little ones.
Whenever I make this with the whole ingredients, I use a small strainer to filter out all the spices as I pour the drink into the cup. These also make a super cute gift idea to give during the holidays. I usually have a few of these small gifts lying around for quick gifts to give to friends or hostesses gifts for attending a party.
