Old drink recipes part 2
Translated from a German book on drinks from 1974: Punsch, Bowlen, Grogs.
Krambambuli
Break up a 500g sugar cone (or 500g of sugar cubes). Combine 1 Tbs each of raisins, chopped seeded dates, candied fruit, and chopped dried fruit in a sieve and top with the sugar. Pour over 2dl of warm high-proof rum and ignite. Let the melted sugar drip into a pot. Pour over 1l of freshly brewed, strong black tea, 2l of white wine, and the juice of two lemons and two oranges. Bring just about to a simmer and serve.
Honey Glühwein
Combine one bottle of red wine with 2dl water, 150g honey (preferably orange blossom honey), and 1 cinnamon stick. Heat to just below boiling, fish out the cinnamon stick, and serve in warmed glasses garnished with lemon slices.
Bischof
Stick three unsprayed oranges with two cloves each and then heat in a covered pan with a bit of water (so they don't stick) until the oranges are brown and brittle. Remove the cloves, cut the oranges into eighths, sprinkle them with 4 Tbs of sugar (to taste), pour over 3 bottles of red wine, and heat to just below boiling.
