Ah, the holidays. There are certain things that remind me of this time of the year, and really, most of them are all the delicious foods and drinks! We rounded up four of our favorite holiday spice blends to jazz up your holiday beverages and desserts.
Gingerbread and pumpkin spice are yummy sprinkled on eggnog, hot chocolate or coffee. Allspice comes in handy with lots of your holiday baking and is one of those spices I don't always have on hand. Hot Apple Cider Cinnamon Spice is a great gift idea! One tablespoon of the stuff can give some flavor to warmed apple juice or wine. Give these a try and save money on spices you can make yourself!
