    I am a drinker, always have been as long as I can remember. (And no, not that kind of drinker!) I have long-loved an ice-cold slushy, good flavored coffee (either iced or hot), my grandmother’s creamy hot chocolate,  or delicious spiced wassail.

    I really love a hot drink on cold winter nights. So, I’ve been known to make a whole batch of this wassail recipe and drink it over the course of a week. Looooove it!

    I’m not sure where the recipe came from originally, but my mom made it while we were growing up and not only does it taste like the holidays and warm us up on a winter night, the smell that wafts through the house is delicious as well!

    Another thing to love about this drink is that it is super quick and easy to make. I’ve seen several recipes for making wassail in the crock pot, but why have it cook all day when you can whip this yumminess up in about 15 minutes?

    The ingredients are pretty basic and many of you will already have these on hand. I keep them all on hand, so it’s easy for me to whip up quickly!

    Warm up on a winter night with this Delicious Hot Spiced Wassail | TheTurquoiseHome.com

    Ingredients:

    • 2 quarts of apples juice
    • 1 cup of orange juice
    • 2 cups of water
    • 1/4 cup of sugar
    • 3 cinnamon sticks
    • 1 Tbs. whole cloves

    First you’ll take the sugar and spices and add them to 2 cups of water in a large pot.

    Boil this mixture for 10 minutes until the oil from the spices are in the water. You can see how the water turns brown from the cinnamon and cloves. Smells soooo good!

    Strain the spices and then add the apple and orange juices. Heat until warm and then enjoy!!

    Here’s the whole recipe so that you can print it out to use for years to come!

      I had no idea this is what wassail is! I make something similar using tea, that I learned from my World Geography teacher in middle school lol. We call it Russian tea, but it has a few similarities! I could totally go for some of yours right now. Subscribed, pinned, and followed on all social media 🙂 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
