Make Your Own: Mulled Wine or Cider

Make Your Own: Mulled Wine or Cider

Amanda Furbee

Fall has arrived and the smells of warm and spicy are all around us. This time of year all I want to do is curl up with a good book and a warm something to sip on. Don’t you? Here at The Herb Shoppe we have the perfect blend to add to any beverage. May favorite way to make our Open Heart Mulling Spice Blend is with red wine and honey, but if you want a non-alcoholic version you can do apple cider, or simply brew as a tea! 

Sip your way to Warm and Fuzzy!

Our Open Heart Mulling Spice Blend combines classic mulling spices with gentle Hawthorn berries to keep you warm and smiling throughout these cooler months. Add Open Heart Mulling Spice to wine, cider, or cocktails or make as a tea for a heart centered beverage you can sip all season long. Lovely heart opening Hawthorn berries are combined with warm cinnamon, spicy cardamom, ginger, and floral anise. Topped off with a pinch of citrus and black pepper, our blend is a wonderful addition to your gatherings and to give a little warmth and spice to your hot drinks.

Let the festivities begin with your own mulled sippables!

  • 2-3 Tablespoons of THS Open Heart Mulling Spice Blend
