Step 3: Combine Ingredients (excluding vanilla & tea)

Next, it’s time to let the ingredients mix and mingle. To the nutmeg jar, add processed cloves, star anise, cinnamon sticks, whole allspice berries and bitter orange peel. Given the strong personalities of the vanilla and tea, we’re going to let them have a solo party so make sure to exclude them from the main spice jar.

Add the tea to the unused 8-oz. jar. If using tea bags, make sure to remove the tea leaves from the bags before placing inside.

Place vanilla bean in the 4-oz. jar.
