Ingredients

• 6 cups apple cider
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1 apple, thinly sliced
• 1 orange, thinly sliced
• Cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot, combine apple cider, orange juice, caramel sauce, and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir until the caramel and sugar are fully dissolved.
2. Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Stir to blend the spices thoroughly into the liquid.
3. Add the sliced apple and orange to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Remove the pot from heat. Strain out the fruit slices if desired, or leave them in for a more rustic presentation.
5. Ladle the warm wassail into mugs. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick.
