We have a recipe for Wassail that we really like. It was given to us by a lady serving on a Legislative committee with my husband. She had put some (dry) in a cute little jar with a poem which I will put at the end. I usually triple it and put it in my punch bowl...with oranges and lemons floating in it. It doesn't last long enough to get cold! Sunbeam in Idaho

Simmer with about 2 quarts water (to taste) and serve. (Heat 2 tsp. in 1 c.
