A good help to face the cold...Deniz!

VIN BRULE'
(ingredients)

full-bodied red wine ½ liters

100 g sugar

4 cloves

a cinnamon stick

½ lemon

½ orange


Peel the half orange and half a lemon, taking care to remove only the orange part of the orange and the yellow of the lemon.

Pour the red wine in a saucepan, add sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves and orange peel and lemon, then stir.

Place the pan on medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, simmer a few minutes, the flame surface to evaporate the alcohol, then remove from heat and let rest a little.

Pour into individual glasses, through a colander, then serve hot.
(Also good for headache...coff..flue and sadness )

Sugar and wine?

Yes sugar and wine
Is not poison...
It 's a winter drink, able to warm the hearts and put you in a good mood.
It's part of our tradition to celebrate San Bassiano on 19 January (patron saint of the city where I was born: Lodi)
On that day in addition to the vin brulè wine is served also the “raspadura*” and trippa ( like your πατσάς )




*raspadura: The real Raspadura is a Lodi specialty that is hard to find. This makes it a food item that is even more special and sought after. It has an age-old history. It is made by a process specific to this cheese which is "scraped" using a special blade with the admirable skill of a master cheese maker.
This process produces a paper-thin flake that is delicate but also compact... and a sublime experience for the palate.
The unique and original Raspadura is made with Lodi cheese, having a certified origin and production method. The geographical area of origin is therefore an essential criterion of the genuineness of the product. Today it is also sold packaged, using natural techniques designed especially to maintain its freshness and unique taste.

It sounds good especially with the wine. I am too affected by wine, and I hate driving with any alcohol in mysystem. Can I substitute a sweetener for the sugar as I will have to take an extra dose of Insulin. I already feel like a pin-cushion.

Deniz, it's called "mulled wine" in the UK. You can buy it already bottled in supermarkets but homemade is better especially if you add something a bit stronger to it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mulledwine_8156

Cheers, hic!

I love mulled wine, esp the ones I used to make. I had it the first time in Praha/CZ and I slept for 16 hours. The sweetest sleep I have ever had. I did not drive a car in Chechoslovakia (as it was known then)

Traditionally they used to plunge a red hot poker into the wine to warm it. Our local pub has a mulled wine dispenser on the bar, I had four glasses one night but it had no effect, I reckon they add loads of spices and then water it down to boost profits.

The Praha stuff was potent with its alcohol content. But the spices were lovely too. My slumber was due to me not being a regular imbiber.
