This is a basic recipe for Wassail. Drinking Wassail is an age old winter custom. It is drunk at Christmas time, New Years, and the Twelfth Night. Wassail is a greeting, meaning "Be in good health!".
traditionally, it's drunk a large wooden community bowl, but you can use your punch bowl and mugs.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 Quart Ale
* Nutmeg (to taste)
* Ginger (to taste)
* Grated Lemon Peel (to taste)
* 3 eggs
* 4 oz. Powdered sugar
* 1 Quart Rum or brandy
PREPARATION:
Heat ale to almost boiling with spices. Beat eggs with sugar while ale is heating up. Combine both into a large pitcher. Put Rum or Brandy into another large pitcher & turn from one to another until mixed well. Pour into punch bowl and serve hot.
You may add small roasted apples for authenticity, if you wish. Core the apples and fill each with a teaspoon of brown sugar. Place in a baking pan and cover the bottom with 1/8-inch of water.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes or until tender. Float apples in punchbowl.
*Note...I've never tasted this, but it sure looks good!
