Wassail

Ingredients:

• ale or beer, about 3 or 4 pints
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup mixed spice (cinnamon sticks and whole cloves are also excellent)
• 2 or 3 small sweet apples, cut up
• 1 1/4 cups pineapple juice
• 1 1/4 cups orange juice
• the juice of 2 lemons

Directions:

Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Place over a slow flame; then, before it begins to boil, take off the heat and whip up some cream. Let this float on top of the brew like foam.

Put in a suitably large bowl (the more ornate the better)
