Christmas Wassail recipe
The scent of Apple cider really takes me back to my childhood. It is sometimes very hard to find real apple cider down here in Florida.
When I was a child growing up in Long Island every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner I could count on an ice cold glass of real apple cider with our meal.
Christmas Wassail is another great way to enjoy apple cider.

I just made this for my family's Christmas lunch. It was delicious! The first batch was gone in less than an hour and it was so popular i had to make a second batch, which was gone by the end of the party. It also makes a great adult beverage if you add a little spiced rum! Will be making this again for New Year's and for every Christmas yet to come! Coincidentally when we watched Disney's Christmas Carol, they mention drinking it in the final scene with Scrooge and Bob Cratchit!
