Merry Christmas to all.

Many have asked and now here is the recipe for my Hot Wassail.

Dry ingredient:
2 Tbs. Cloves
4 cups sugar
12 Cinnoman sticks
6 Tbs. of candied ginger (crushed up) or 2 Tbs. of powdered ginger. (just as good, much simpler)

Wet ingredient:
6 qts. water
1 gal Apple Cider
3 qts. Orange Juice
2 cups Lemon juice

Directions:
Put the 6 quarts of water into a large pan. (this makes 3 gallons so it's best to make it a very big pot) Toss in the dry ingredients, sugar, cinimmon, cloves, ginger, bring to a rolling boil and let it boil for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes turn off the heat and let it sit for one hour. After one hour, add wet ingredients. If you want to let it get stronger, leave a few of the cinimmon sticks and a few of the cloves in the storage bottles. Heat and serve.

Enjoy all, and Happy Holidays
