Warm Wassail

Wassail is a hot, mulled punch  often associated with  Yultide,  drunk and often drunk from a 'wassailing bowl".  The early versions contained warm mead and roasted crab apples.  Eventually the drink evolved to the drink we know today.  Made with sugar, cinnamon and sometimes adding ginger and nutmeg.
