How to Make Dr Jack's Wassail

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup hard cider, 1/2 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 cinnamon sticks, 5 whole cloves, and 1/2 cup mixed hard candies (e.g., Jolly Ranchers, cinnamon hard candies).
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving pitcher to remove the spices and candies.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup of sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness).
  6. Serve warm in mugs, garnished with an orange slice or cinnamon stick, if desired.
