wassail

this is a seasonal favorite in the massey family. we drink it throughout the autumn, & we always drink it on christmas morning {&/or on whatever day we celebrate christmas together}. it's also a staple at "common ground" - the monthly coffeehouse we hold in our basement for our youth group. it's easy to make & reheats well, too!

1 part apple juice
1 part cranberry juice
1 part orange juice

{i buy 64 ounce containers of each juice & dump each entire container in to a large pot together.}

2 cinnamon sticks
6-8 whole cloves

{adjust the ratios of these if you use less juice in a smaller pot.}

1. pour juices together into a large pot.

2. add the whole spices.

3. simmer on low until piping hot. {you can do this on higher heats to make it quicker, but watch it so it doesn't boil over!}

4. remove the whole spices with a slotted spoon. {i actually don't bother.}

that's it - easy peasy!
