Gingerbread Candied Almonds (Gebrannte Mandeln)

December 17, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 3 Comments

Gingerbread Candied Almonds (Gebrannte Mandeln) by the Kitchen Maus

Depending on who you ask, these sugar and spice coated almonds are either called candied, caramelized, roasted or burnt sugar almonds. In German, they’re just Gebrannte Mandeln, which technically translates to “burnt almonds”.

A German Kinderpunsch Recipe

November 30, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 4 Comments

The holidays are here again and it’s time for another German Christmas drink recipe. The past two years I’ve posted on mulled, alcoholic drinks, like Glühwein and Glühmost, that are classics at German Christmas Markets. This year I’m doing a non-alcoholic version also found at Christmas Markets known as Kinderpunsch. It literally translates to “Children’s Punch” but it’s not…

German Mulled Hard Cider

It’s that time of year again for alcoholic holiday cheer! Seasonal drinks don’t seem to get the same love as seasonal food does around the holidays, unless maybe you’re at your annual Christmas party. Then again, perhaps that’s just with my family. Either way, it’s why I’m trying to build up a nice little repertoire. Last year I wrote…

Glühwein (Mulled Wine)

December 10, 2014 by The Kitchen Maus 5 Comments

Oh, Glühwein. The perfect sipping drink for a cold and dark winter evenings.   It’s quite popular in Germany around the holidays and is always found at the open air Christmas Markets.  If I didn’t know better, I’d say the reason it’s called “glow wine” in German is because you have a tendency to make cheeks take on a rosy glow.  Actually,…
