Directions

To make the Spices Blend:

  1. In a medium size mixing bowl, blend all the ingredients together with a spatula.
  2. Then place them into your favorite jar to preserve it or to make a gift.

To make the Hot Beverage:

  1. In a sauce pan, blend the Rodelle Vanilla Bean spice blend together with your favorite apple juice, cider, or wine.
  2. Bring to boil, then turn down the heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. You may whisk every minute during this process in order to get all the spices to release their flavors.
  4. After this cooking step, let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
  5. With a fine mesh strainer, filter the flavorful blend into a serving pitcher (glass tempered) or directly to the mugs.
