A version of this is drank around Halloween and Christmas in east Texas and Louisiana. It is made by melting red hots into (non alcoholic) Apple cider. 107.77.168.42 ( talk) 00:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
This drink has nothing to do with german cuisine. Reading This articleIt seems to be of germanic origin and a brtish christmas tradition but is nothing german at all. I am going to remove the link to the list german cuisine again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.145.242.211 ( talk) 21:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
Ok As far as I know, "Wassailing" is the equivalent of going carol singing in christian tradition. Pagans also used to sing carols and these were adapted by christians. They tend to be about food drink and dancing naked, having sex etc. Lots of fun. Can anyone confirm? If not I'll just have to ask this guy Tim from Glastonbury who tries to restore christianised carols. It's also the apple/health thing...
I have lived in the American South my entire life, and I have never once even heard of Russian Tea, much less heard that it is a tradition. Can anyone else confirm that statement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.148.111.26 ( talk) 22:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Can someone put a picture of Wassail on here? Bdodo1992 ( talk) 22:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it's "Russian tea" but rather "rush'n tea," because the recipe involves a kind of spice powder that makes it a sort of instant drink -- one that can be made in a rush. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.138.146.136 ( talk) 03:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

The first paragraph of 'Wassail as a Beverage' appears to be inconsistent:
It says 'Historically, the drink was a mulled cider' but proceeds to say 'While the beverage typically served as "wassail" at modern holiday feasts with a medieval theme most closely resembles mulled cider, historical wassail drinks were completely different, more likely to be mulled beer or mead.'
Could someone who knows more about this than me confirm which of these sentences are correct and ammend the paragraph accordingly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.209.6.40 ( talk) 17:09, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Exactly what I just signed in to bring to others' attention. It's a very confusing paragraph. One would think that since Wassailing involves concern about apple harvests that cider would've been the most typical base for the drink. Schoemann ( talk) 09:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
I only meant to fix some punctuation errors in the first paragraph that cause me to repeatedly garden-path in reading it, but on getting into it, I realized that the semantics of the paragraph were vague and convoluted, as well, so I just reworked it. I did attempt to merely simplify and clarify, while retaining the semantic content intact. I began with small syntactic fixes, but quickly realized that they were caused, to some extent, by underlying semantic problems, and the edit just grew, until I found myself doing a simple rewrite using the core phrases as the basic simplicity of the item relationships in the paragraph became obvious. No insult intended to anyone, so if you feel I've trodden too heavily, especially in changing the original writer's style, I won't be offended in turn should my edits be redacted, although I do feel strongly that they are a distinct improvement. It's the old English prof in me—just won't let me stop once I get going, until I've reduced things to their simplest, most elegant terms. Or maybe that's the old math major in me....<g>
On another subject, Russian Tea, I, too hail from the US South, and also never heard of it until staying with a family in Wyoming. They used it to refer to a 50\50 mix of Tang and instant tea, served hot. I have no idea of the provenance of the name.

I think "wassail" is more than the drink.-- Jack Upland ( talk) 08:37, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
It's either one or the other. Different recipes vary, so I would suggest an "or" in there somewhere. Kortoso ( talk) 17:12, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

There has been blackface used to reference wassailing. Without the proper context in the article and with no reference to blackface, the image or any image of blackface should be avoided. Even with reference, one should link to the wassailing page where a picture of blackface as it relates to wassailing would be more appropriate. Images of blackface should be avoided unless directly relevant and contextualized as they are racist imagery and offensive. Jwayne33 ( talk) 18:43, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
