happy holidays!
throughout thanksgiving and christmas, i always crave mulled cider and mulled wine. as i was making our first batch this fall, i realized it is just like making tea! the only difference is that instead of steeping in hot water, the spices steep in the cider or the wine. so, i have mixed up our favorite family recipe in the new red wine & cider blend. it couldn’t be simpler! all you have to do is heat up your beverage of choice and toss in the spices (with some sugar, if you wish).
one of my favorite memories in europe was when the weather began turning cold and the christmas markets started popping up. i loved wandering through all the stands run by local artisans and picking out hand-made gifts for my family. my favorite part of every christmas market, was that there was always somewhere to buy hot wine. the cup would warm my hands, and the steam would warm my face. the spiced red wine, sometimes mixed with cider, was delicious. the white wine, however, never quite lived up to my expectations. so, i set out to find the perfect spices to complement the bright flavors of a white wine. i think you will be very pleased with the results!
also, for the holidays, i have put together some baskets to make choosing your christmas presents a piece of cake! each basket has loose leaf tea, mulling spices and an infuser. you can choose black, green, herbal or rooibos tea. the specific blends will vary according to availability.
