EDIT: I just noticed the non alcholic bit, but wassel can be made without any alcohol.
No one's mentioned Wassel? I'm shocked, there are a ton of different recipes plus it has its own song! Of course now there is a Anglicanized version which is "Here we come a caroling among the leaves so green."
Yeah, that word used to be wasseling, not caroling!

Yeah... it took me a few minutes to think of a drink without alcohol lol
:eeek:
"Anglicised"? More like "Americanized." Wassail was already an english word.
This Wassail recipe calls for 2 pints of ale, but by the time you're done simmering it, I would have to imagine the alcohol would have "burned off."
Oxford English Dictionary has citations for wassail back to 1300 AD.
Yup. Though I'm sure some would take issue with me trying to argue that "wæs (þu) hæl" is "english."Oops. Make that 1275. Guess I should have kept reading.
