Combine all of the ingredients together in a large pot and use a wooden spoon to stir them until combined.
Cover the wassail with a lid and allow it to sit over low-medium heat for 40 minutes.
Remove the cinnamon sticks from the liquid and give it another quick stir.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can usually find apple cider year round at most major grocery stores. It can be found on the juice aisle or in the deli section.
We like to use a combination of whole and ground spices to really infuse the wassail, but you are more than welcome to use all ground or all whole spices.
The sweetness of the orange juice helps balance the warmth of the cider and spice blend.
You can serve this wassail hot or cold.
Store your wassail in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. We like to store it in an airtight pitcher, but a Rubbermaid container will work as well.
