Global Food Trip 8 - Bonus for Christmas and New Year's
Wassail is an old-time festive beverage that is popular around Christmas and New Year's. And I am trying to make it as part of a Global Food Trip. This idea is basically a trip around the world through food and an adventure trying to make it. I'm no professional, so let's see how it goes.
Wassail has apple cider, orange juice, baked apples with butter and brown sugar, oranges, and lots of lovely spices. Nutmeg, clove, star anise, ginger, and cinnamon! I added cranberries and blackberries to mine, although I don't think that is "traditional." This is an "unleaded" version, but it's pretty easy to add your favorite adult beverage.
