What a beautiful reason to stay snuggled in with the baby birds and a big mug of wassail.
Hmmmm…Such a good idea..
Winter Wassail
Into a slow cooker or stock pot add:
1 quart apple juice
1 quart apple cider
Wash and cut 8 oranges and 3-4 lemons into thin slices. Add them to the juice.
Add 6 cinnamon sticks and stir gently. Tie the following spices into a square of muslin and drop it into the juice mix.
8 whole cloves
6 whole allspice berries
1/4 teaspoon mace
Simmer at least 30 minutes–or all day–on low. You’ll love the smell as much as the taste.
