If you don’t have muslin bags or cheesecloth squares, you can place the spices in the center of a coffee filter. Twist the coffee filter into a small bundle. Use twine to securely tie the coffee filter.

• The ingredients listed are for 1 bundle.
• 1 tablespoon of dried cranberries can be added to the spice bundles to make Cranberry Snyder Cider Bundles.
• After you have used the bag to make Spiced cider or mulled wine, you can re use the muslin bag. Simply empty the bag, wash with mild soap and allow to dry. Then the bag is ready to be used again. If you are planning to re use your muslin bags, avoid tied the string in a knot. Simply tie the bag securely.
• A long cinnamon stick makes a great stirrer for your Snyder Cider Spice infused warm beverage.
