Wassailtea Recipes

Steps:

• Mix apple cider, orange juice, lemon juice, pineapple juice, and sugar together in a large pot over medium-low 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.
