Gramma used to do something like this with red wine during the holidays, but I never liked the after-taste of heavy red wines. When I moved out on my own I noticed that I really missed the smell of this simmering through the house though! So through some trial and error (and a completely content to be a guinea pig husband!) I finally came up with this. It's similar to a wassail I guess, but wasn't really based on one.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

One sip of this drink and you'll immediately feel like the holidays are here. Filled with cinnamon and orange flavor, this will be popular at any holiday party. It warms you up as you slowly sip and it makes your kitchen smell amazing while simmering.
