Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 ounces cinnamon sticks
- ⅓ cup cardamom pods
- ¼ cup allspice berries
- ¼ cup whole cloves
- ¼ cup star anise pods
- ⅓ cup dried orange peel store bought or dried in oven
- ¼ cup black peppercorns
Instructions
- Place cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, allspice berries, cloves and star anise in large zip top bag.
- Crush with rolling pin a few times to break larger spices and release the oils.
- Add dried orange peel and peppercorns to the bag and toss to mix well. Store until ready to use.
Notes
- Always use whole spices, not ground.
- Toast them in a dry skillet for two minutes before crushing for deeper flavor.
- Add dehydrated orange slices as a garnish when serving — they are beautiful floating in a mug or punch bowl.
- Mix the blend thoroughly before portioning because the smaller spices settle to the bottom.
- Crush the cinnamon sticks into smaller pieces so they fit more easily into bags and jars.
- Brandy in the cider or wine is never a bad idea.
