Let\’s make a toast to the holidays!

Run along now, kitty,  I need that bowl! It\’s time to mix up the wassail!

Wassail, like plum pudding, goes back to medieval times, and is another holiday custom that I\’ve never explored. I had always had the notion that wassail is boozy; but apparently it doesn\’t have to be.

How about fizzy wassail? I guess you could use frozen orange juice concentrate (thaw it out first) mixed with sparkling water. Or use sparkling cider.

Maybe vary the flavor by using different kinds of juice? Cranberry? That\’s pretty strong stuff, so it might need to be diluted somewhat. White grape juice? Lemonade instead of orange juice? It depends on what you like.

So now, shall we go a-wassailing; and then make a toast to the holidays?
