The tea pot is ready

“For most of the world’s population, tea and hospitality are one and the same thing.” – D.Rosen

Keep your teapot on the stove and ready, strangers may come knocking at your door.

organic mulling spices

Organic whole mulling spices make the season come alive with the warming scents of cinnamon and clove filling the home.  They are also shown to support our health and circulation as the colder weather comes.  I can't think of a more delightful way to stay healthy!  This mulling spice blend makes mulling cider or wine easy to do.  For cider just add 2-3 tablespoons to gallon of apple juice/cider in a saucepan over low heat and allow to get hot, stirring occasionally.  Serve hot into cups leaving the spices behind.

I usually reuse the spices by pouring water over them and simmering on the stove as inscense.  It is heavenly and cleans out stale winter air.

Make your own or order some of our special blend:
