How to Brew Allspice

Named for its aroma, reminiscent of a blend of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg in a single spice.

Native to Central America and the Caribbean.

Here is how to brew Allspice for a clean, full-flavoured cup. One ingredient. Nothing added.

How to Brew Allspice

1. Measure 2g of Allspice into your cup or teapot per 250 ml of water.
2. Heat fresh, filtered water to 95-100 C.
3. Add the Allspice to the water, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes.
4. Strain and serve hot or mulled, in dishes or drinks.
5. It re-brews 1-2 times, so you can steep a second cup from the same Allspice.
