WINTER WASSAIL
Wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon toast "waes hael" or be whole". The first carols were Yuletide drinking songs and singers caroled their neighbourhoods carrying their wassail bowls with them. That was just to get you into the spirit, now down to business. I have no idea how many servings you'll get. When I make this I don't use any alcohol and I serve small amounts to younger children (diluted with apple juice) while the men bring big coffee mugs (with their own spirit base).

- To prepare a wassail bowl: Use a heavy china bowl, a crock pot or a punch bowl.
- Heat it over a large kettle of boiling water. Add lemon and orange slices.
- When warm, add gin or vodka and let it heat, but do not boil or spirits will evaporate. Remove from heat.
