Wassail

When I was a newlywed I attended a church function where they served this wassail -- spiced apple cider if you prefer.  A wonderful lady named Lori made it.  I drank mug after mug of this stuff and then begged her to take home the leftovers.  I drank this stuff for days!  She shared the recipe and it has been a favorite ever since!

I love a warm drink in the cooler months, and wassail is my FAVORITE.  Not only is it warm and delicious, but it makes your house smell AMAZING!

1 Gallon Apple Juice or Apple Cider
