Mmm, homemade wassail :) Makes me smile! Years and years ago I had my first cup of wassail at a neighbors house. My sister and I were delivering Christmas goodies around to neighbors, and one of them invited us in. She offered us a warm mug of wassail on a chilly winter night. It was so delicious. I’ve wanted to know how to make it ever since. It’s super simple and the best part is it will make your house smell amazing as it’s simmering!
