Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by washing the orange and lemon thoroughly. Insert the cloves into the orange, piercing the skin.
-
In a large pot, pour in the red wine. Squeeze the juice of the lemon and orange into the pot, then place the fruit halves in as well.
-
Add the cinnamon sticks to the pot and heat the mixture over low heat. Allow it to simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, ensuring it does not come to a boil.
-
While the wine is simmering, place the sugar cone (Feuerzange) on specialized tongs or a metal rack that can withstand heat.
-
Carefully pour the rum over the sugar cone, ensuring it is evenly coated.
-
Light the sugar cone on fire using a long match or a lighter.
-
Once the cone is flaming, slowly lower it into the pot of mulled wine using the tongs, allowing the caramelized sugar to drip into the wine.
-
Let the sugar cone burn until it has mostly melted into the wine, creating a rich, caramel flavor.
-
Ladle the Feuerzangenbowle into heatproof glasses, making sure to strain out the fruit and spices.
-
Serve hot and enjoy the warm, spiced flavors of this festive beverage with your friends and family.
