The Wassail Cider Spices Kit makes this delicious Old English recipe easy to make! Wassail (Middle English 'wæs hæl' - 'be you healthy') refers both to the salute 'Waes Hail' and to the drink of wassail, a hot mulled wine, or as 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. The 1.5 ounces of spices in this packet brews up to 1 gallon of wassail, all you need to add is the cider and sugar. This kit is hand blended and packaged by Oliver Pluff & Co. in Charleston, South Carolina, and has a shelf life of 3 years.
