Spice of the Month - December

Pick up December's Spice of the Month and a recipe from December 1st - December 23rd.

This month we're featuring the ingredients for mulling cider or wine. Mulling beverages by heating them up, adding sugar (maple syrup or honey) and spices is a practice that goes back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Gathering together and caroling while drinking mulled cider or wine became known as "Wassailing" in England. The spices were believed to give the beverages healing properties.
