There is nothing more soothing than a hot drink on a cold night.
and the perfect companion to that hot drink
mulling spices
I am a BIG fan of the mulled beverage
and it makes the house smell
AMAZING
I’ve been buying mulling spices for years,
but this year I decided to try my own blend.
These little bundles are SO cute – with a bottle of cider or nice red wine, I bet they’d make great little hostess gifts
{just a thought}
I used natural cheesecloth
and in each small square I placed :
1 star anise
2 cardamom pods
4 whole allspice
and 1/4 tsp of cloves
gather up the corners to tie in a bundle
tucking in 1 cinnamon stick
then simply simmer in you beverage of choice
‘Tis the Season
Enjoy!

What a great idea! I love your awesome blog. Your newest follower from the Crafty Blog Stalker.
I love mulled cider. It is perfect for cool fall nights. So delicious and your mulling spice idea is perfect!
Great idea. I may have to include these sachets with Christmas gifts this year!
This is such a neat idea! I’ve never mulled spices before, but it sounds like something I’d like to try! Would be great for Christmas gifts too.
You’re making me feel all Christmassy! I just want to curl up with a mug of something hot and spicy now
Just pinned this Heather – sounds amazing! Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!
Heather,
Love this! I love mulled cider and wine. I haven’t ever made my own though. I’ll have to give this a try this year. Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share this week! Have a wonderful week.
