Thank you for the wasail recipe. Could you suggest the type of beer to be used traditionally. There are so many craft beers on the market.
Thank you so much for publishing this recipe; it's the first one for Wassail that actually tasted like the ones I used to drink at UK Christmas markets!
The only difference I made was to use dry red wine as I'm not such a fan of very sweet drinks, and it was perfect.
What? No cloves? I have an old recipe that is alcohol free that we've been making in our family for over 50 years.
Hi, Tanya. We do have another recipe for wassail that includes ground cloves. Just click here.
Not being a drinker is there something that could be used in place of alcohol. Cider etc
Hi, Nancy. We do have a non-alcoholic wassail recipe here.
From what I've researched, Toast was floated on top of the wassail, this is what gave the appearance of lamb's wool.
