Wassail

One variety of wassail, or hot mulled apple cider. Make up a batch of this before you go Yule carolling.

• 1 lemon, chopped
• 1 orange, chopped
• 1 lime, chopped
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp cloves
• 1 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp ground anise

Preparation

Mix ingredients in a large enamel pot, and simmer for about an hour. Strain out the pieces of fruit and serve hot. Adding brandy or rum is a nice touch when served for adults.
