Make Wassail
for Caroling
The holidays are a time for gift giving, volunteering, and singing carols. If you live in a cold part of the country, caroling can be a shivering experience. Take along some wassail and enjoy the warmth of this traditional caroling drink.
Instructions
1. Use a large pot that will hold the ingredients without spilling when you stir the mixture. A six to eight quart saucepan should work.
2. Add the cider, orange juice, lemon juice, and pineapple juice to the pot. Add one stick of cinnamon and the cloves. Begin to stir the mixture as you heat it on low to medium heat.
3. Taste to see if you wish to add sugar or honey. The juices are naturally sweet, so you may opt to pass on the sweetener.
4. Add rum, if you wish, after the juices are heated but have not come to a boil.Preferably, use a dark rum. There is no formula for how much rum. Pour the wassail into thermal cups, and you are ready to travel the neighborhood in song.
