What is wassail?
A traditional wassail recipe typically includes alcohol, cider, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. According to WhyChristmas.com, “the word wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon phrase ‘waes hael’, which means good health.” People would make this drink around Christmas and New Years to celebrate. Pretty cool!
This wassail drink is perfect as Dragonfire Potion!
It is the perfect orange color and is served hot from the stove!
It won’t destroy any minions, but it sure does taste good!
Save this for later!
