Wassail Cider Spices

Description:Wassail (Middle English ‘ws hl’ – be you healthy) refers both to the salute ‘Waes Hail’ and to the drink of wassail, a hot mulled cider drunk as part of wassailing, an English ritual intended to ensure a good apple harvest the following year. Historically, the drink is a mulled cider, mulled beer, or mead, made with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and topped with toast. A group then sings: Old Apple tree, old apple tree, we’ve come to wassail thee, To bear and to bow apples now, Hats full, caps full, three bushel bags full, Barn floors full and a little heap under the stairs.
