Mulling spice mixes vary widely in their formulation. Many western cultures have cultivated traditions around the mulled wine punches made from these spices and each has imparted its own stamp on the blend of spices they steep. Most have cinnamon and some form of citrus. Cloves are also popular as are allspice berries, but there are variations that include black peppercorn, ginger root, star anise and/or cardamom. Our formulation is made many of the popular inclusions: cinnamon chips, dried orange peel, whole clove buds, whole allspice berries, decorticated cardamom seeds, and some star anise for a touch of licorice.
