Christmas Wassail

[StickFish]

here is my favorite Winter Warm drink treat - without spirits it is excellent and really makes a kitchen smell wonderful - add your favorite brandy for that extra adult kick

Christmas Wassail
Serves: 8-12

Ingredients:

* 1 gallon apple cider
* 25-30 whole cloves
* 6-10 cinnamon sticks
* 1 quart pineapple juice
* 1 6 ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate

Mix all ingredients in a large pot and simmer. Serve hot.

Tried your recipie at a staff x-mas party--it was a huge hit!!!

I cut the pineapple juice in half though!!!

The room just smelled like x-mas after I made the cider!!

Thanks!!!!

How much brandy do you usually add?

I'm going to make this tomorrow for a work party, so I stopped at Cash n Carry and found a stellar deal on whole cloves. Big container (like a Costco-sized container) was less than $6, and since I saw the regular sized spice jar here locally for $10...very cool.

I made some Christmas Eve for the In Laws and then again Christmas Day at my folks place. I used AppleJack Brandy...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

It was a big hit! I might bring this in a thermos for those nippy days out in the boat!

Thanks for the recipe :cheers:
