Como fazer 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.
