Hosting season, meet your cheat sheet. This little set pairs a recipe postcard for Classic Glögg (Swedish mulled wine) with a pouch of our Mulling Spice Mix, so the recipe and the spices arrive together.
One heads-up: the pouch is a refill, not a single serving. Just a couple of tablespoons of spices go into each bottle of wine, so you’ll get more than one pot out of it. Give it to a host, or keep it for your own party prep.
The postcard covers the classic version, but the mix is happy in cider, tea, or anything else that needs to smell like December.

Cassia cinnamon sticks are rigid and difficult to break making them ideal for aromatic crafting or for use as flavor-imbuing stirrers for festive beverages.
Star anise pods are as aromatic as they are visually distinctive. Star anise is warm and sweet with an intense licorice flavor that also reveals notes of mint and clove.
Mulling spice mixes vary widely in their formulation. Our mix is made many of some popular inclusions: cinnamon chips, orange peel, cloves, allspice, cardamom, and star anise.
