Comment préparer Winter Wassail

In a large kettle, combine 6 cups apple cider, 4 cinnamon sticks, 2 star anise, 1 tsp whole cloves, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground allspice, and a pinch of sea salt.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse the cider.
Remove the kettle from the heat. Taste and add 1/2 cup to 1 cup granulated sugar (or to taste), stirring until dissolved.
Allow the wassail to cool slightly.
Strain the wassail through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer into a large bowl, removing all the spices.
Store in a cool place until ready to serve. Refrigeration is not necessary, but it will keep better.
To prepare for serving, choose a festive serving bowl: a heavy china bowl, a crock-pot, or a punch bowl will work beautifully.
Warm the bowl gently by setting it over a large pot of simmering water (a double boiler method).
Add 2 oranges and 1 lemon, thinly sliced.
**(For adults):** Once warm, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of your preferred spirit (gin or vodka) to the wassail. Gently heat, ensuring it does not boil, as this will evaporate the alcohol. Remove from heat.
Pour the warm, spiced cider into your prepared bowl.
For a dramatic presentation, keep the bowl warm by placing it over a candle or alcohol burner (if using and with appropriate safety precautions).
Ladle into punch cups or mugs and serve immediately. Enjoy!
**(For children):** Serve the non-alcoholic wassail diluted with apple juice to taste.
