How to Make Mama Jan's Wassail
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 quarts apple cider, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup cranberry juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 10 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the spices are fragrant (about 10 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let it steep for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to enhance the spice flavors. This step is optional but recommended for best results.
- Strain the wassail through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices.
- Serve warm in mugs. Garnish with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, or cranberries if desired.
