Ingredients

  • 2–3 bottles of dry red wine (e.g. Rioja)
  • 0.4 L rum (at least 54% alcohol; 80% would be better)
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 lemons (optional)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 5 cloves
  • 1 pinch ground gingerbread spices (optional)
  • 1 zuckerhut (lump of white sugar )

Directions

1

Put the wine into the feuerzangenbowle bowl, and heat it to about 70 °C.

2

Wash the fruit with hot water.

3

Peel the oranges and lemons into thin strips, and add the peel to the wine along with the spices.

4

Place the feuerzange on the bowl and place the zuckerhut on it.

5

Put the rum into a soup ladle and pour it over the zuckerhut . Then, carefully light it on fire.

6

When the flame on the sugar has stopped burning, repeat the process with a fresh ladle of rum. Add the rum very slowly this time or you will burn your hand.

7

When the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the feuerzange and add another ladle of unburnt rum to the bowl.

8

Remove all solids (oranges, lemons, cloves, and cinnamon stick) from the bowl from the drink.
