The most amazing mulled spice tea bags!
AMAZING mulled cider tea bags! The taste and smell are divine, it’s such a holiday favorite and really brings in the cozy vibes of winter. These can actually also be used as sachets during the fall and holiday season! Beautiful packaging and love that they are individually wrapped, helps to keep them fresh. Wonderful company and wonderful product. Highly recommend! Would definitely buy again.

Totally worth purchasing.
This was so easy to use, and tastes amazing, my kids, ranging from age 10-15, all approved too. All I did was heat up apple juice in the microwave, and then steeped the spice bag in the hot juice for about 5 minutes, and voila, hot apple cider. No more messing with spices in cheesecloth, and cooking in the slow cooker for hours. I will be sharing this with family and friends on the up coming holidays. I have my coffee/hot drink station all ready to go. Was a good price, and I will definitely order more when I run out.

Easy to use, handy for events!
I love mulled wine and mulled cider, to me it is a quintessential holiday drink. These make it super easy - no measuring, no mess. I originally got them to make hot mulled NA (non-alcoholic) cider for a work function, and these made setup and cleanup so easy! There are already crockpots at work, so dumping in a half-gallon+ of pressed cider from a local farm (NY is known for its apples after all), adding in a few of these bags, and topping with dried orange slices/cinnamon sticks to be fancy is all that was needed. Bringing a jug, some of these teabags, and a ladle to to an event is so much easier than cooking a whole dish, and it is still tasty and impressive. These are so easy to use, and easy to travel with if needed.

Great alternative to tea
I'm partial to cinnamon and the spices that typically accompany it, but I find cider to be too sweet and have difficulty finding decaf, spiced tea. This is my solution to that - I steep it directly in hot water - my preparation is a ~5 minute steep of one sachet in 10oz of about 190F water - and end up with a very mild, aromatic beverage. It is a good choice if you want something light on waking up or before going to bed, or are looking to shake up your usual beverage routine with something which has nothing to do with tea. You can also add it to tea, or coffee or hot cocoa, and it adds an authentic mulled flavor to any of them. It'd probably be nice in hot milk, though I haven't tried that yet.
So anyway, I'd recommend it, at least to try. Maybe it won't replace your usual drink of choice entirely, but it's a nice compliment anyway.

Taste Great. Great way to make one cup
Wonderful product. So glad I found it. I had always used a container of mulling spices. These tea bags are so much easier when I only want to make a cup or two.
-
Perfect for Thanksgiving
Made a big pot of cider with these for Thanksgiving. simmering it on the stove made the whole house smell amazing
-
Been buying these for years
I've been using Olde Tradition mulling spices for years. I've tried making my own spice blend before, but these are so much easier and always come out good. I especially like that everything is already contained in the little bags.
-
Good flavor, very convenient
Really good mulling spices and very easy to use. I like my cider pretty strongly spiced so I usually use an extra bag, but that's just personal preference. Much more convenient than using loose spices
-
Great with red wine
I originally bought these for apple cider but tried them with a bottle of red wine and loved it. Added some orange slices and a little sugar and it made a great mulled wine.
-
A fall staple in our house
We make hot apple cider every year once the weather starts cooling down and these have become a staple. The spices give the cider a really nice flavor without overpowering it.
-
So easy to use
I love that these come in tea bags. I just toss a couple in with a pot of cider and let it simmer. Great flavor and no spices floating around that you have to strain out afterward.
-
Yummy
Makes wonderful hot spice wine!
-
Yes!!
Great for making cider. I understand you can put these in cranberry juice too and make it more festive.. You can also put it in your tea, their teabags so add it to a pot of tea to give it a more holiday.

Neighbors at Christmas
These were a hit in the gifts I made for our neighbors at Christmas. (The cider went in the wine bags, with the green trees. Then. Mulling spices, cinnamon sticks, and dried oranges went in plaid bag. Gift tags, cinnamon sticks, and dried oranges from Amazon, too.)

"World's Best Mulling Spice"
Never had hot mulled cider before. 1st time having it, the apple orchard used this spice. Knocked my socks off! It set a benchmark. So far it truly is the “Worlds Best Mulling Spice”.
-
You'll love it.
Excellent mulling spices, easy to use. I've been using it with apple cider. Apple cider is seasonal so I'll be switching to cheap red wine, Merlot or Zen
-
Cute and not too strong
Great Taste, added this to a gluewein party favor for the holiday
-
Great mulled wine mix
Exactly what I was looking for, smell and spice blend perfect
-
OK
Smells amazing, didn't really taste that great though.
-
Tasty, convenient, BUT could use more cinnamon
I use these to spice up decaf tea at night and for beer/mead brewing and they work really well. The tea bags make it super convenient, especially for brewing. My only complaint is they could use more cinnamon, so I do have throw in a cinnamon stick.
-
BEST SPICES for cider - trust me!
THE BEST SPICES for cider you will ever find - bonus is how easy and no mess the tea bags are to use! I use a 40 cup coffee brew kettle and place the tea bags on the top strainer with cinnamon candies and pour in honey-crisp apple cider from Walmart or Aldi’s, plug it in and let it brew!
-
perfect cider for one.
This makes great spiced cider for one. Love the tea bags that let you steep as long as your like for a great flavor.

EXCELLENT alternative to loose mulling spices. My new go-to!
One of our Xmas traditions is to make mulled wine to serve warm each night in the days before Xmas (see our recipe below). We usually use loose mulled spices each year, but I decided to try these this season.
In short, I'm SO glad I did! These are EXCELLENT alternatives to the loose spices we typically use, which are always a pain to have to strain prior to serving.
Added bonus: these bags are reusable a couple of times. I just put them in a Ziploc sandwich bag, pop them in the fridge, and use them again the next night (you'll want to steep them longer on subsequent uses).
These are also really good with Earl Grey and would also be excellent in cider as well. I'm also planning to steep some in a bottle of plain vodka for a few weeks to flavor it!
***Here's our "tried and true" recipe (everyone loves it) for mulled wine, which is meant to be lower sugar:
MULLED WINE
--(1) regular-sized bottle (about 3 1/2 cups) of a less-tannic red wine (we usually use cabernet sauvignon, but in-season Beaujolais Nouveau is great, too. Sometimes I even add in a cup of Sandelman port as well).
-- 2 cups of sweet vermouth
-- about 10-12 packets of Sweet n' Low (to keep the carbs down. The wine masks the aftertaste completely.)
-- (5) of these mulling spice bags.
Simmer for about 15-20 minutes (longer if reusing the bags), then serve immediately.
