When the days grow shorter and the evenings feel just right for gathering, nothing sets the mood like a warm drink in your hands. At Raven’s Nest, our signature Mulling Spices make it easy to transform everyday drinks into a comforting fall beverage—no fuss, no complicated ingredients.

 

Crafting the Perfect Fall Beverage

Forget juggling cinnamon sticks, cloves, citrus peels, and nutmeg. With our award-winning blend of spices, all you need is apple juice or cider, a crockpot, and a package of our Mulling Spices. In minutes, your kitchen is filled with the inviting aroma of citrus and spice, and you have a perfectly mulled fall beverage ready to serve. It’s the shortcut to cozy gatherings, family nights, or tailgates without sacrificing flavor.

Instant Spiced Mulled Cider:

1. Pour cider, apple juice, or ½ gallon apple and ½ gallon cran-apple into a crockpot.
2. Stir in Raven’s Nest Mulling Spices (about 1 tablespoon per quart; 1/2 package makes a half gallon).
3. Simmer until warm, then serve with optional garnish like apple slices or cinnamon sticks.

Cozy Up with Spiced Hot Cocoa

Mulled cider isn’t the only way to sip the season. Our spiced hot cocoa recipe turns classic chocolate into a comforting fall beverage. A pinch of Mulling Spices stirred into creamy hot chocolate adds notes of cinnamon, clove, and citrus—perfect for chilly mornings or evenings by the fire. Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of peppermint for an extra touch of indulgence.

Spiced Hot Cocoa Tips:

1. Use milk or milk alternatives for extra creaminess.
2. Stir in ½ teaspoon of Mulling Spices per cup.
3. Add marshmallows, whipped cream, or a cinnamon stick for garnish.
