ACV Cold Wassail

 This one is a variation on the Apple Cider Vinegar Punch:

(A surprisingly fresh tasting, good for you drink.)

In a 2 quart pitcher or bottle, 1/2 cup of organic apple cider vinegar (the good kind you get from a health food section)

In a separate cup, place 1 tsp liquid stevia (available from Vitacost).  Or, you can sweeten it with about 3/4 c honey dissolved in hot water.

To the stevia or honey add:

2 drops birch essential oil, 1 drop cinnamon essential oil, 1 drop nutmeg essential oil, 3 drops tangerine or orange essential oil. (Other oils suitable include clove, lemon, lime, allspice.)

Mix, then add the stevia/oil mix to the apple cider vinegar.   (Optional--One package of "Emergen-C". I use Super Fruit, Triple Berry Burst or Tropical).

 Add 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract.

 Add spring water to fill the  2 quart container and mix well.

Divide THAT mixture into two separate 2 quart containers.  Add 2 cups of light grape juice (or apple juice or other juice) to each container.
