Wassail

Written By Shea Shoemaker

  • 2 cups orange juice

  • 2 cups cranberry juice

  • 2 cups apple juice

  • 2 cups water

  • ½ cup sugar

  • 4 cinnamon sticks

  • 12 whole allspice

  • 8 whole cloves

Pour all liquid into a large pot or a crockpot. (do not use an instapot) Place spices in a spice ball, and drop that and cinnamon sticks in whole. 

(Do not use ground spices)

Add sugar and stir everything clockwise while setting your intentions for this beautiful ritual drink. 

Your intentions can be focused on joy and health for all who partake of your Wassail. Or perhaps, impart abundance and life into your beverage.  Whatever your intentions are, stir clockwise while speaking your intentions over your pot. 

Let simmer on low for at least 2 hours, always stirring clockwise. 

Your Wassail will last in the refrigerator for several weeks, and leftovers can be added to a new batch to keep the magic and your intentions alive.
