Pastor's Wassail

I am not a big fan of warm or hot drinks, but this one hits the spot for me. It is from an old cook booklet of mine that contains Civil War recipes!!! This is great for holiday parties!!! It is said that when you serve wassail, you should say "Wass hael", which means "to be whole" or "be well"
