Lamb's Wool is a traditional English drink that has been enjoyed for centuries. It was originally made with roasted apples, sugar, and ale, but over the years, the recipe has evolved. Today, Lamb's Wool is typically made with dark beer, spices, and chopped apples. The name Lamb's Wool comes from the frothy head that forms on top of the drink, which is said to resemble the wool of a lamb. This warm and comforting drink is perfect for cold winter nights, and can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal.
