Personal Notes:
Interestingly enough, traditional wassailing still takes place today in many areas of the UK and is considered an extremely important ritual for the benefit of the apple harvest as well as to ensure the health of the local economy. And although the wassail we know and love today is a delicious concoction of apple juice, oranges, cinnamon and clove, the traditional fare was historically much closer to something along the lines of spiced beer.
