Directions
Winter Wassail, Wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon toast waes hael or be whole The first carols were Yuletide drinking songs and singers caroled their neighbourhoods carrying their wassail bowls with them That was just to get you into the spirit, now down to business I have no idea how many servings you’ll get When I make this I don’t use any alcohol and I serve small amounts to younger children (diluted with apple juice) while the men bring big coffee mugs (with their own spirit base) , I have put this in my ‘Tried & True’ book I made this for the kids for our Christmas Tea since they don’t seem to like tea yet I tied the whole spices in cheesecloth for easy removal and put everything except fruit in the crockpot for 2 hours on High I then added the fruit and turned the crockpot to Low until ready to serve This was a hit with both the kids and the adults So much for the tea! I will definitely make this again and have ‘spirits’ available for the adults to add to their cups before getting wassail Great recipe (and great idea for ‘spirits’)! Thanks for posting!, Wonderful!! Just exactly what I was looking for Thank you so much1
