Smoked Bishop

Smoked Bishop specialise in mulled wine spice bags that allow you to recreate the traditional Victorian "Smoking Bishop" recipe with ease. Their carefully measured blend of festive whole spices, encased in biodegradable pyramid bags made from 100% sugar cane, ensures an authentic and aromatic mulled wine experience. Great for traditional red wine but also great with apple juice or cider too (I have tested a few times already this year!).

About Their Mulled Wine Spice Bags

Each Smoked Bishop package contains three mulled wine spice bags and Ceylon cinnamon quills. The spices are carefully measured and encased in biodegradable pyramid bags, making it simple to prepare mulled wine:

  1. Combine one spice bag, a cinnamon quill, and 2 to 4 tablespoons of sugar with a bottle of red wine in a large pan.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warmed through (do not boil).
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture infuse for about 10 minutes.
  4. Serve in heatproof glasses, garnished with a slice of orange if desired.

This method allows you to enjoy a traditional Victorian mulled wine with minimal effort.
