Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and apple cider.
  • If you don't have whole cloves, you can use ground cloves. Just be sure to use a light hand, as ground cloves can be quite strong.
  • For a non-alcoholic version of this wassail, simply omit the white wine. You can also use sparkling apple cider instead of the hard cider.
