Today we are in the midst of our first winter storm here in West Michigan. As I look out the window, the wind is gusting and blowing the snow all over. It actually looks like we're in a snow globe. It's days like this that I'm really thankful for my warm house, a thick blanket, and a nice hot drink! I love the comforting feeling of a hot cup of Cider Wassail in my hands, warming me both outside and in.
Cider Wassail
Serves 8-10 people
You will need:
8 cups apple cider
1-1/2 cups orange juice
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3 cinnamon sticks
Combine ingredients in your Crock-pot and heat on low for 2-3 hours, or until hot. Discard cinnamon sticks and serve hot.
*This can also be made on the stove. Just combine ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks and serve hot.
Sounds good! I'll have to give it a try as soon as my stash of Biltmore brand runs out. :)
