Ian of Oertha asked:
<<< I'm finding lots of recipes for spiced or fruity wine; but the only stuff I
find for "wassail" is not period.....is wassail a class of thing? I mean,
is hypocras a wassail?
Or is there an actual recipe for period wassail? >>>
No, I think I would consider wassail to be a class of hypocras, although hypocras is usually a spiced wine whereas wassail can be cider or wine and is usually a Yule or cold-weather thing.

In the CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS section, since it covers more than the beverage.
