Wassail

This is a family recipe that I love at Christmastime. It's warming and festive. It's easy too!

Wassail
  • 1 part orange juice
  • 1 part apple juice
  • 1 part cranberry juice
  • cinnamon sticks
  • whole cloves
  • sugar to taste
  • orange slices to float for garnish (optional)

Simmer.

You can use juice from concentrate or from a bottle, and make as much or as little as you want. The original recipe makes A LOT, and uses 2 cinnamon sticks and 12 whole cloves. If you're making a smaller amount, 1 cinnamon stick and 4-5 cloves would be enough.

I serve this at my Christmas parties and people like it. Last year I didn't get a picture before it was all gone!
