To inject some boozy deliciousness and drama in your timelines, here's a recipe for Feuerzangenbowle (fire tongs punch)

You need:

1 ovenproof bowl or pot
1 burner (think fondue)
1 Feuerzange (about 5 quid from amazon)
1 ladle

1,5 -2 l good red wine
0,3-0,4 l good rum with at least 54% alcohol
2 oranges (the juice)
1 organic orange
1 organic lemon
8 cloves
4 star anise
2 cinnamon sticks
1 sugar loaf (250gr)

For a more intense spice taste, toast them in a dry pan, if you want less spice, take half of the spices. Heat the wine and the spices but do not boil. Add the orange juice, peel the lemon and add the peel, slice the 3rd orange in slices and add to the wine. Put the pot or bowl

on a burner and heat a ladle or two of the rum. Put the Feuerzange across the pot, place the sugar loaf in it, then soak the sugar loaf with a ladle of the hot rum and set alight carefully. Heat the rest of the rum in the ladle over the burning sugar loaf, pouring it over until

the sugar loaf has melted into the punch and enjoy! Take care not to place the burning punch under sth. hanging from the ceiling!
