Historically, the drink is a mulled cider, mulled beer, or mead, made with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and topped with toast. A group then sings: “Old Apple tree, old apple tree, we've come to wassail thee, To bear and to bow apples enow, Hats full, caps full, three bushel bags full, Barn floors full and a little heap under the stairs.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Cinnamon sticks, cut ginger, ground nutmeg \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞\/𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: 1.5 ounce spices - Brews 1 Gallon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Statehouse Museum Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45209268748488,"sku":"109049","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0005\/0125\/2162\/files\/Wassail.webp?v=1788964487","url":"https:\/\/statehouseshop.com\/products\/cider-spices-wassail-1-gallon","provider":"Statehouse Museum Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
