Wait, hot beer is a thing? Those Germans are brilliant I tell you! Absolutely brilliant!
Warm beer is sacrilege here in the states, but I hear in Europe it is the go-to. Many brewers and alcohol proficients state that the best serving temperature for savoring beer is on the warm side, but you'll never hear that on this side of the earth.
Meanwhile, warm sake in Japan. Heard that it makes the drink more fragrant too. Maybe because the alcohol and aromatic component vapourized and become easier to inhale than when they are trapped in the liquid. *shrugs*
BTW, because spices, have to be imported from tropical countries, is this a creation of more modern time ?

I imagine so. I don't think the brits started introducing orange peel and other bits and bobs in their tea until after they took over parts of India.
It stands to reason that spices weren't too common in Germany until recently. Turn the century 19th or 20th?
Gluehwein... The best part of the German winter. Never seen hot beer tho.
Try it. But I have never heard that Glühwein translates into "hot wine". My translation device gives me "mulled wine". And Glükriek is misspelled. It should be Glühkriek (with an h).
People who are weak against alcohol should beware tooHow to make GluhweinTurn off the fire, add sugar to taste, and done.
(adjust the amount of sugar and lemon according to the taste of the wine)Heat wine, orange, lemon and spices in small pan.Lecker!
DeliciousDrunk during Christmas or when people have a cold!Stir slowly with cinnamon stick, and when it starts to foam then it's doneGluhweinApparently in Germany, it's okay to drink wine and beer at age 16...Switch to small fire just before boiling and warm it for 10 minutesSome of the alcohol is lost but both still have alcohol in them, so drink within reason!- Wine (red or white is fine. use the kind with less acidity) 200ml
