Feuerzangenbowle
- 3 bottles red wine
- 1 piece orange zest
- 1 piece lemon zest
- 5 each cloves
- 1 small sugar hat
- 1 bottle rum golden
- Put orange peel, lemon peel and cloves into a tea filter bag, tie shut with white yarn.
- Hang into a copper kettle, pour in wine.
- Heat up close to boiling point, but make sure it never gets to boil.
- Put the kettle in the middle of your table so all your guests can watch the ceremony.
- You normally use a "Feuerzange", but as I supect this might be hard to get outside Europe I guess you can also use a grid from your barbecue set - especially the ones you normally use to barbecue herrings in should work pretty well.
- The point is that you should be able to put the sugar hat on it (lying on its side) and place the whole thing safely over the kettle.
- Once you've got that far, you're ready for the ceremony.
- First, dim your lights.
- Then pour some rum onto the sugar hat, best using a ladle, and light it (this is why the rum has to be at least 108 proof).
- Keep the flames burning by ladeling more rum on the sugar hat, until the sugar has completely melted and dripped into the wine.
- Remove the "Feuerzange" and the bag with the spices.
- Serve in heat-proof glasses.
