Wassail


On another blog there has been discussion about what Wassal is? Is it the tradition of putting up your tree and decorating it or is it a beverage? I don't have a clue, but I do have a Wassail recipe and it's very yummy. Makes the whole house smell yummy. Spelled differently.
(no, the picture is not mine)

3/4 c sugar
3 c water
10-12 whole cloves
3 large cinnamon sticks (broken)

Boil for 10 min. covered. Turn off heat and let sit overnight.

When you are ready to serve:
add- 2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 gal. cider or apple juice

Bring to a boil. Turn off heat. Strain and serve.

Keeps for 2 weeks in fridge.
