I am looking for a Wassail recipe that uses tea, apple cider, pineapple juice, apricot nectar, orange juice, cinnamon sticks, and possibly another ingredient or two. Does anyone have this beverage recipe?

Was Haile!
by: Don (Webmaster)

In medieval times, Christmas guests were served from a large bowl containing "Wassail," a savory, hot beverage made from ale, apples, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and other spices. The word Wassail originates from "Was haile," an old Saxon greeting that simply means "Be Healthy!" Hopefully, someone will be able to supply Brenda with a good recipe for this festive beverage.

Wassail Recipe
by: Anonymous

Here's a recipe for making 3 quarts of Wassail:

6 cups apple cider
2 1/2 cups apricot nectar
2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon whole cloves
4 whole allspice
3 (3-inch) sticks cinnamon

Combine all the ingredients in a Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain and discard the spices. Serve hot.
