With the Festive Season ahead of us, both pagans, Christians, and other religious groups are busy celebrating a beautiful winter season.  My holyday of Longest Night (also Yule or Winter Solstice) is a wonderful way to celebrate…..and prepare a traditional English drink.  I love Wassail!  It’s super easy to throw together, and you can choose to either make in on the stove or in a crockpot.

Are you ready to prepare this amazing drink?

You will need:

1 gallon apple cider

6 cinnamon sticks

2 teaspoons whole allspice

1 teaspoon whole cloves

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 Tart apples (Granny Smith come to mind)

Put all the ingredients into a pot (or crockpot) and simmer until the apples burst from their skins.  So tasty!!!

Blessings From The Hearth.
