Next week is already December and as the months get colder I crave for some festive drinks!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are three festive hot drinks that you will typically find in German Christmas markets or at home during the festive period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gl\u00fchwein <\/b>– Mulled Wine<\/span><\/p>\n

The most well-known drink for the hot months is <\/span>Gl\u00fchwein<\/b>. This is hot red wine cooked with sugar and spices such as <\/span>Zimtstangen <\/b>(cinnamon sticks), <\/span>Nelken <\/b>(cloves) and <\/span>Sternanis <\/b>(star anise). There are also other variations such as <\/span>Weisser Gl\u00fchwein <\/b>(white mulled wine) which is made from white wine, or with a shot of rum added to your drink (<\/span>Gl\u00fchwein mit Schuss <\/b>– mulled wine with shot) to really warm you up. You find that the alcohol percentage of <\/span>G\u00fchwein <\/b>ranges from 7% to 14%, depending on the quality of the wine and if any water is added to it. You can find out more about this winter warmer in my other post here<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kinderpunsch <\/b>– Children\u2019s Punch<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an unalcoholic version of <\/span>Gl\u00fchwein <\/b>for children and anyone who wants to enjoy a winter warmer without the alcohol! This drink is made up of tea and juice and also has similar spices to <\/span>Gl\u00fchwein<\/b>, along with slices of orange and lemon.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feuerzangenbowle<\/b> – Fire Punch<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to <\/span>Gl\u00fchwein<\/b>, this festive drink contains mulled wine and very similar spices. <\/span>Feuerzangenbowle <\/b>literally translates to “fire tongs punch”. You’re probably wondering what the difference between <\/span>Gl\u00fchwein<\/b> and <\/span>Feuerzangenbowle<\/b> is, this would be the added sugar cube that is dipped into rum, added to your drink and lit on fire. At the Christmas market you will find this drink served in mugs with an extended part to put the sugar cube on. The added flame adds a wow effect and the rum with sugar gives <\/span>Feuerzangenbowle <\/b>a different taste to Gl\u00fchwein.<\/span><\/p>\n
