James Family’s Recipe for Wassail
The recipe came from Houston’s Bank of the Southwest located downtown. Kathryn and John James worked downtown in the ’70s and would visit the bank lobby’s Santa House where Mrs. Claus served free gingerbread and this wassail. The bank and the free gingerbread may be gone, but not those special holiday memories. During the holidays, the James' serve this wassail to warm up visiting carolers.
