Bisschopswijn

SUBMITTED BY: ELSE

"Bisschopswijn , meaning 'bishop's wine', is the Dutch version of the German Gluehwein, a hot drink for snowy holidays that makes you glow inside. Don't drink this if you have to drive tonight ! Each household has its own variety, this is the one my Dutch neighbors used to make when I was a kid in Amsterdam, for Christmas and New Years Eve."

Great for "2 buck chuck". Remove orange after 30 minutes or the wine will turn bitter. MORE
