Treat family and friends to the warmth, aroma, and good cheer of hot mulled cider, cranberry juice, or other fruit beverages during the holidays and throughout the winter season. India Tree Mulling Spices are an aromatic mix of only the finest allspice, cloves, orange peel, and cinnamon. Because these spices are so pungent, they can often be used to flavor more than one batch.
