Mulled Wine history
The word "mulled" simply means heated and spiced.
Many liquids can be mulled - mead, cider, and of course wine. Mulled wine is a
traditional favourite in cooler locations, today mulling goes well with various
beverages no matter where you are.
In medieval times these wines were thought to be
very healthy, and considered one of the better aphrodisiacs.
These heated drinks are reputed to have kept people
healthy through the cold winters in the middle ages.
Moving
forward to the 1500s, cookbooks already listed many methods
of mulling. It became a favorite in Victorian England right up to
today where it is a staple in many house-holds, particularly when entertaining guests.
Earthbound Products NZ have taken this age old
concept and developed it further to meet the demands of today's busy
lifestyle.
All our recipes contain Earthbound packs consisting of 100%
natural spices, giving a delightful aroma and warm soothing
effects.
There are different styles from every part of the world -
some favour using red wine, some apple juice, some you can add in oranges,
lemons, mint, liquor, and use fruit juice, but at the end of the
day, it's as limited as your imagination & taste buds
allow.
Each box contains 5 muslin sacks,
capable of
mulling 5 bottles of wine
or approx 18 cups.
Spices in each sack consist of cloves,
cinnamon,
whole spice, and dryed
orange peel.
