A completely new mix for winter! A loose blend of flavours to mix in with sugar and heat with drinks such as wine, cider, ginger beer, apple juice, or mead, for a luscious, fruity, slightly peppery, warming mouthful.

All five flavours add equally to the blend, but the "Muntrie" alliterated nicely with "Mulling Mix" for the name.

Each pack contains:

• Whole freeze-dried Muntries
• Whole dried Mountain Pepperberry
• Ground dried Finger Lime or Lemon Aspen
• Whole Lemon Myrtle leaves
• Whole Forestberry Herb

This mix is made on the lands of the Gundungurra people of New South Wales.

To make your mulled drink:

1. Crush the whole leaves in your hand, and add all contents to 750ml of your preferred drink.
2. Add 50g - 100g of sugar. (We recommend trying our Spicy Fruit Sprinkle).
3. Heat very gently until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Scoop off the floating Muntries and reserve.
5. Strain the liquid into a separate saucepan. (We recommend straining as the spices do tend to leave a residue).
6. Add another bottle or two to the mulled blend and heat to blend.
7. Taste and adjust - you may need more sugar.
8. Add the Muntries back to the mix, and eat them separately as they absorb the liquid.

We've trialled this with Altina Drinks' non-alcoholic Sparkling Sansgria, and it is utterly delicious - recommended.

Otherwise, try it with:

• Red wine (sparkling or still)
• Cider
• Mead (we recommend Stone Dog Brewery, and not just because they live over the hill from us!)
• Apple juice
• Ginger Beer - alcoholic or non-alcoholic
