Waes thee hael
“be thou hale”
1 Gallon apple cider
2 Cups orange juice
8 Sticks cinnamon
10 – 12 whole cloves
2-3 Whole star anise pods (I’ve never found them!)
1 T allspice berries (or a shake of allspice)
1 lemon quartered
2 Oranges, sliced
1 Cup sugar
Simmer all of the above in a stockpot for 1 ½ to 2 hours, then strain out solids
Then add:
1 Gallon white wine
2 Cups rum
Return to warm, and ladle to mugs – this is delightful on a cold day, but enjoy with caution
