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
Size/Type: 1.5 ounce spices - Brews 1 Gallon
Hand-blended and packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. in Charleston, South Carolina
