Homemade Mulling Spices

When I was growing up, my mom used to put a pot of water on the stove and throw in a couple of tablespoons of mulling spices. It made the whole house smell amazing! And she didn’t just do this at holidays. It was like a fresh potpourri bowl being set out every morning and everyone who walked in the house commented on how wonderful it was.

I decided to keep the tradition going and started purchasing a mulling spice mixture from Williams-Sonoma (which you can purchase by clicking on the image on the left). However, as much as I loved the store bought blend, it was eating a whole in my book-buying budget, which is never acceptable! So, I set out to find a way to make my own version and stumbled across Heather Christo’s version that is just fabulous. I modified it a bit because I always have to put my own spin on things but I highly recommend checking out the original recipe by clicking here.
