MULLED WINE SPICE -- GIFT MIX
I think this is a wonderful gift for the Holiday season. It is quite easy to make, looks super fancy and tastes so yummy! Id suggest pairing this with one bottle (750 ml) of red wine or grape juice as it makes enough for that amount of liquid.

- Tie a label to the wine bottle with the following instructions: 'Tip the contents of the muslin bag into a pan with the wine, orange, cinnamon stick and 300ml/½pt water. Simmer for 5 mins, then serve.'
Tips:

- Toast the spices before using them. This will bring out their flavor and aroma.
- Use a variety of spices. This will give your mulled wine a complex and interesting flavor.
- Don't boil the wine. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and then remove it from the heat.
- Let the mulled wine steep for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the mulled wine hot. Garnish it with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, or star anise.
