Mercatino di Natale di Norimberga, Christkindlesmarkt

Among the stalls of the ancient Nuremberg Christmas market it is possible to encounter the smell of cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel from the feuerzangenbowle, a traditional German drink, which can be literally translated as “punch with heated tongs,” referring to its characteristic preparation on an iron grater (Feuerzange), on which a block of sugar soaked in rum is burned, caramelizing and falling into the bowl of red wine below.
