Notes
To cook over the stovetop, add all ingredients into a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer over medium low heat and continue to simmer with the lid slightly ajar for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
Storing Instructions: store leftover Wassail in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To reheat: transfer Wassail to a large pot and reheat over medium until warmed through. Or, add a single serving to a mug and reheat in a microwave on high for about 2 minutes, stirring in between.
