This spice mix for mulled wine includes cloves, star anise, cinnamon, sweet and bitter orange peel, and aniseed, based on an authentic German recipe. To prepare, just heat some red wine and add 2 tablespoons of the mix. Let it steep to enhance the flavor.

Glühwein is particularly popular in Central Europe, but it's quickly becoming a favourite throughout the rest of Europe, especially during the winter months and around Christmas time.

Use a bottle (approximately 75 cl) of red wine (any brand will do) and heat gently in a pan (avoid boiling!)
Add 2 tablespoons of mulled wine spices. If you prefer not to have loose herbs, use a spice or tea infuser.
Let it soak for at least 5 minutes in the hot, non-boiling red wine
If desired, add sugar to taste

Customer Questions

What flavour can I expect from this mulled wine spice mix?

Our spice mix gives your mulled wine a classic, wintry flavour thanks to, among others, star anise, cloves, orange peel, real Ceylon cinnamon and anise. The mix creates a spicy, warm, lightly sweet and citrus-fresh mulled wine. You can add extra sugar, lemon or fresh orange to taste.

How much mulled wine can I make with one 50 gram sachet of spice mix?

With one 50 gram sachet you can make approximately 6 to 8 litres of mulled wine, depending on how many spices you use per litre. We recommend about 2 tablespoons (approximately 6-8 grams) per 0.75 to 1 litre of wine.

Does this spice mix contain only spices, or are there already sweeteners or other additives included?

This blend contains only pure spices: star anise, cloves, orange peel (2 types), Ceylon cinnamon and anise. No sweeteners, sugars or other additives have been added. You can add sugar or fruit to your mulled wine as desired.

Should I add the spices loose or is it better to use a filter?

We recommend adding the mulled wine spice mix to the wine preferably using a tea or herb filter (or, for example, a reusable tea bag). This prevents the loose pieces from floating in the drink. Remove the filter once you have reached the desired strength of flavour.
