Hot Wassail is like the tastier sister to Apple Cider. It has a hint of orange and yummy spices that make it delicious! My mom always brewed a big pot of hot wassail for us on Christmas Eve. It’s a tradition she grew up with as a little girl. I usually like to enjoy mine on Christmas morning when I’d wake up and it was cold and snowy outside. I’d take my time sipping a nice warm glass of hot wassail while I was opening presents! This is a great recipe that only takes a few minutes to stir together and then it simmers to allow all the flavors to blend.
Serves 8Ingredients:
8 cups apple cider
2 cups orange juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
4 whole cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

I made this for my Christmas party today and it is so yummy! I added about 1/4 cup of brown sugar to sweeten it up.
