Mulling Spice

Mulling spices have been used for centuries to add warmth and flavor to beverages during the colder months. The tradition of mulling wine, cider, and other drinks dates back to ancient Rome, where it was customary to heat wine and add spices to make it more palatable during the winter. The versatility of Rumi Spice's Mulling Spice makes it a valuable addition to any kitchen. It can be used to create flavorful mulled wine, cider, wassail, and even iced tea and lemonade.

When ground, Rumi Spice's Mulling Spice blend is like a very fancy pumpkin spice blend. Unlike standard pumpkin pie spice, which typically contains cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves, our blend includes the luxurious addition of Rumi coriander, saffron, orange peel, cardamom, and black pepper. This combination creates a more complex and layered flavor profile that enhances both beverages and baked goods.

One of the unique aspects of our mulling spice is the inclusion of Rumi saffron, which adds a touch of luxury and a unique flavor that sets our blend apart. The orange zest brings a refreshing citrus note that complements the warmth of the spices, while the black peppercorn adds a subtle kick.

By choosing Rumi Spice's Mulling Spice, you are not only enjoying a high-quality blend but also supporting the livelihoods of Afghan farmers and women. Each purchase helps drive economic growth in Afghanistan and empowers women in their communities.
