20 years ago I left my life in the city for the mountains of Pennsylvania. What I found when I arrived was a well kept secret amongst the coal region locals. A warm drink of holiday cheer custom made batch by batch. A fragrant blend of spices that will fill the whole house, boiled and brewed with fruits, juices and all manner of sweetness. The tradition of Boilo varies from family to family, each developing their own form of holiday perfection.
From the beginning of September through the bitter days of winter, boilo adds a bright touch of joy to the dark months of the year. It has even been used to battle the perils of cold and flu season being drunk to ward off fever and other seasonal symptoms and, although no medical claims will be made, I will note it makes one hell of a hot toddy!
Traditionally made with Four Queens Whiskey, modern day boilo can be made with anything your creative heart desires. From whiskey to rum, vodka, moonshine and more, there are no rules to the making of boilo.
Don't drink alcohol? No worries! It's a delicious treat without spirits and a fun kitchen activity to do with the family.
Each Boilo in a Bag kit comes with:
☆Spices for 3 batches of Boilo
