Heart Warming Wassail

 

Wassail is a warm drink infused with delicious and aromatic spices usually enjoyed during the Christmas holidays. Often referred to as mulled spices or mulled cider, apple cider is commonly used as the main component of the festive concoction, but grape juice, cranberry juice, beer, wine, or liquor are also used according to family tradition. A variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger are used along with slices of apple and orange to create a unique holiday taste and aroma.

The name wassail is derived from the ancient Anglo-Saxon term wæs hæil, which means, “Be healthy.” In early England, wassail was the salutation given when offering a person a cup of the spiced ale or when toasting to that person's health. As wassail has gained popularity in North America, it is not uncommon to see it served in various forms during Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Years, and even Valentine's Day.
