Mulling spices is a
spice mixture used in drink recipes. The
spices are usually used to spice hot
apple cider,
mulled wine,
wassail, and other drinks (such as juices) during the autumn or winter. A "mulled" drink is a drink which has been prepared with these spices (usually through heating the drink in a pot with mulling spices and then strained). Mulling spices may also be added to the brewing process to make spiced
beer.
