Christmas in Alsace
Of course. Home made is always best. To make mulled wine, you need caster sugar two bottles of wine, Crème de Cassis, two oranges, some lemon, two cinnamon sticks cloves, juniper berries, star anise, two bay leaves, nutmeg,
And I’m going to put in a bit of Pastis to give it an aniseed flavour. So, you need a pan, a cook… So, I’ve squeezed the lemon. Yes, I’ve peeled the zest from the oranges and the lemon which I have added there You stir it a bit
And then I’ve put in a bit of wine and I’m going to heat it to reduce it down and now I’m going to add the wine – two bottles. And now I’m going to put in a bit of Crème de Cassis …there and a drop of Pastis.
And then after, it will be good for tasting. For Christmas magic, it’s really not bad Colmar I don’t think you can find better Look at the clock tower, it’s pretty. So, is he at home, Santa? There’s a little stall behind with waiters who are in Alsatian costume
Have we seen enough Christmas decorations for the day? Shall we go and taste the mulled wine? So here we are, ready for Christmas
We think the best place to see Christmas illuminations in France is the town of Colmar. In today’s video, before setting off the see the lights, we prepare some mulled wine and traditional Christmas treats. Once it’s dark, we go into Colmar to soak up the wonderful Christmas atmosphere this town has to offer before heading back to taste what we have prepared. Our commentary is in both English and French with key words displayed on screen as we talk. There is also a glossary at the end of the video putting together all the vocabulary, and a translation of the French when you click on the CC button.
