Wassail

My mother has been making this wassail for Christmas for as long as I can remember. It is sooo good.


Wassail

1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 qt. water
12 whole cloves
4 sticks cinnamon
4 allspice berries
1 (12 oz) can orange juice concentrate
1 (12 oz) can lemonade concentrate
1 gallon apple cider

Make syrup with sugar and water; cook about 10 minutes. Add spices. Let stand in warm place 1 hour. (I usually let it sit much longer.) Strain spices, add orange juice, lemonade, and cider. Let stand overnight. Makes 1 1/2 gallons.
