Story:
What is wassail, you ask? The first answer is: "Here we come a'wassailing, tralalalalala..." The second answer is it's apple cider with a citrus twist. It is yummy. But I almost like the smell just as much as the flavor. Mmmm. Smells like Christmas.
This recipe is from Ben's Aunt Kendalyn. Love her.
I've started making this when our family watches the First Presidency Christmas Devotional on the first Sunday of December every year. We like inviting friends over to watch it with us... and it's a fun way to usher in the Christmas spirit.
Ingredients:
*Spices:
1/2 C brown sugar
2 C water
5 whole cloves
4 allspice berries
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 piece ginger root
*Beverage:
2 C orange juice (or pineapple juice)
1 C lemonade
1 qt apple cider (or apple juice)
Directions:
Combine all the spices in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Then cover and simmer about an hour.
Then add all the spices to the liquids. I like to combine everything in my crock pot and serve it out of there. Like Aunt Kendy says, "It's like havina potpourri you get to drink!"
