Wassail comes from the Old English phrase waes hael, meaning “be you healthy,” and was once at the heart of winter celebrations meant to bless the apple trees and ensure a good har vest. Villagers would gather on cold nights, singing and raising steaming bowls of spiced drink to the orchard, wishing for a fruitful year ahead. These traditional blends of warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg carry that same spirit of cheer. Simmer it with apple cider or orange juice for a delicious drink that will fill your Winter days with warmth.- DETAILS - Measures: 1.5 ounce spices - Brews 1 gallon.
