This recipe is a great way to introduce kids to new flavors and textures. It is also a good source of calcium, potassium, and vitamin C. In this article, we will provide you with two different recipes for lamb's wool, one made with fresh apples and one made with apple juice. We will also provide a vegan version of the drink for those with dietary restrictions.

This is a traditional cider drink that was made and enjoyed on Twelfth Night (January 16-17) in Elizabethan England. It is said that it gets its name from the whiteness of the roasted apples as they fluff out of their skins while they cook. I haven't made it yet, but I cant let go of the recipe every time I go to clean out my recipe box.
