I never knew what wassail (wah-sul) was until I went to college and since then I've been scouring the internet for a delicious recipe!! The other night at a work shindig, a friend brought some of the most amazing wassail and we all begged for the recipe!! Thankfully she was nice enough to oblige and now I will share it with you!
