Cloves are probably the strongest flavour in most mulled wine. You can optionally grind the cloves finely before adding them to the wine, otherwise they tend to float around. Or, you can push the cloves into segments of orange before putting the whole lot in the pot. | Star anise imparts the liquorice-like flavour to mulled wine. |
Cinnamon and cassia are quite similar. Cinnamon is usually used in mulled wine, but cassia is similar and usually just fine. | You can add a whole nutmeg to the pot of mulled wine, though the flavours will be more noticeable if you grate the nutmeg into the pot. |
Allspice is a single spice, but it tastes rather like a mixture of spices which is why it is called allspice. It is useful in mulled wine, as it has a general pleasing spiciness. | Vanilla is like nothing else, having a unique flavour all of its own. It is the flavouring used in custard, as well as ice-cream and many desserts and confectionery. Vanilla is incredibly expensive due to its scarcity, but hopefully you will find our prices reasonable. |
