• Meanwhile, add the hard cider, pale ale, apple cider and Madeira to a large pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Put the cloves, allspice, cinnamon sticks, orange zest and lemon zest in a piece of cheesecloth and tie it closed. Add to the pot along with the ginger and nutmeg. Reduce the heat to low and steep the mixture until the liquid is well spiced and fragrant, about 1 hour.

• Note: I always use cheesecloth to tie the Allspice and Cinnamon Sticks into which allows me less straining.

• My family enjoys having wassail the entire holiday season, so we normally double or triple the recipe.
