Aspen Mulling Spices originated in 1970 as a delicious drink served to customers in hot steaming cups as a gesture of hospitality at Wax & Wicks, a renowned gift shop in Aspen, Colorado. Word spread, bringing more people to the shop to visit and to sip the wonderful spiced drinks.
After years of being asked how the mix was made, the secret was out and the little “milk box”-shaped cartons of Aspen Mulling Spices were available. Today, thousands of specialty shops throughout the United States, Europe, and the world sell Aspen Mulling Spices.
Unlike other mulling spices, no cooking is necessary. Since the spices dissolve completely, no skimming of ingredients is required. And because it is a powder, the spices are great for hot and cold drinks, as well as for baking.
