Oliver Pluff & Company Wassail Cider Spices

Cider Spices Wassail Package

Description: Wassail (Middle English "wæs hæl" - "be you healthy") refers both to the salute "Waes Hail" and to the drink of wassail, a hot mulled cider drunk as part of wassailing, an English ritual intended to ensure a good apple harvest the following year.  Historically, the drink is a mulled cider, mulled beer, or mead, made with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and topped with toast.  A group then sings: “Old Apple tree, old apple tree, we've come to wassail thee, To bear and to bow apples enow, Hats full, caps full, three-bushel bags full, Barn floors full and a little heap under the stairs.”

Ingredients: Cinnamon sticks, cut ginger, ground nutmeg

Hand-blended and packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. in Charleston, South Carolina
