Since it is difficult with the Christmas markets this year, you can also make your own Feuerzangenbowle at home.
Bring that Christmas market feeling into your home.
The
Feuerzangenbowle
is the queen of
hot drinks in the run-up to Christmas
, much better (and stronger) than mulled wine * or punch.
But not just because of the taste, but because the
preparation is a spectacle
for the eye: Burning sugar slowly drips into the hot punch.
You can find out how it all works
step by step
in this
recipe
.
To conjure up a fire tongs punch, you need a large
stainless steel pot
and special
tongs
, the eponymous fire tongs (promotional link).
A
sugar loaf is placed
on these tongs
-
a cone made of sugar with a rounded tip - placed and
lit
with
rum
so that the sugar gradually drips into the punch below.
You might be wondering where to get a sugar loaf?
There are offers in stores for fire tongs or even whole fire tong punch sets including some sugar loafs.
But you can also buy them individually.

How to make Feuerzangenbowle at home
Cut the
oranges
and
lemons
into slices.
Put the
red wine
,
orange juice
, orange and lemon slices with
cloves
and
cinnamon sticks
in a large saucepan and heat everything up.
Do not boil!
Also
add
the
nutmeg
and
ginger
.
Put the pot on a warmer or very low heat.
Place the
sugar loaf
on fire tongs and place them across the pot.
Now soak the sugar loaf properly with
rum
.
Carefully light the soaked sugar loaf with a match.
Keep pouring some rum over the sugar loaf with a ladle to keep the flames burning.
It looks even more spectacular if you light the rum in the ladle and pour burning rum over the sugar loaf.
When the sugar loaf is completely melted, you can carefully remove the
fire tongs,
stir
the
fire tongs punch
and pour it into glasses.
