Hi lovelies and welcome in my holiday kitchen. Today we are brewing two very special hot potions to see which is the best, mulled wine recipe: a medieval hippocras or a traditional German Glühwein. As always, you can find all the needed ingredients listed down below. Both surely make excellent warming drinks to enjoy during winter or the holiday season but today we want to find out where the difference in taste lies.
If you have ever visited a German Christmas market, you will be familiar with the incredible amount of different Glühwein varieties we enjoy. The one I am showing you today is the traditional red spiced wine but other delicious mulled wines to try are white Glühwein, Berry ones flavored with blackthorn or blueberries, Kinderpunsch (a non-alcoholic version with hibiscus tea), Feuerzangenbowle (a new years eve specialty) and even Glühbier. So today we are brewing a traditional German Glühwein and then a medieval Hippocras to compare.
