Its Christmas time in Cologne!!

3, 4 and 5 r from the "Feuerzangenbowle"............................................
The Feuerzangenbowle is a German alcoholic drink, sometimes part of the Christmas and New Year's tradition. The name translates literally as "Fire Pliers Punch".

The drink is prepared in a bowl, similar to a fondue set, which usually is suspended over a small fuel burner. The bowl is filled with heated red wine, and occasionally orange juice and/or spices similar to those used in ordinary mulled wine. The "Feuerzange" is a metal holder for the "Zuckerhut" (sugarloaf), a large conical mass of sugar around seven inches long, which is placed above the bowl. The sugar is soaked in rum and set alight, and rum is continually added with a ladle until all the sugar has melted and mixed with the wine. The rum must have a strength of at least 54% alcohol (per volume), as it would otherwise not burn properly. The resulting drink is then served in mugs, in the same way as Glühwein, and the burner keeps the bowl warm until it is emptied..............................
