Holiday Spices
One of my favorite winter drinks is warmed coconut milk (homemade and heavy on the fat) with mulling spices. Whenever I’ve made a mulling spice in the past, I’m always taken in by how good it smells and beautiful it looks. For these reasons alone, it makes a wonderful gift. Simply take a small mason jar and place the various spices in whole form (cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, vanilla beans, dried orange peels, etc) into it with a recipe tag. This will not only show you care but will make your recipient’s home smell wonderful at their next holiday get together. Traditionally, mulling spices are used with apple cider or wine; however, this sugar free version is equally satisfying and enjoyable.
