Here is a good non-alcoholic holiday drink, for those of us
who do not have George Washington’s constitution.
Wassail Punch
2 quarts apple cider
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
12 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
1 pinch ground ginger
1 pinch ground nutmeg
In a slow-cooker or a large pot over low heat, combine
apple cider, orange juice and lemon juice. Season with
cloves, ginger and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer. If using a
slow cooker, allow to simmer all day. Serve hot.
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand’ring
So fair to be seen.
REFRAIN:
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year.
