Candeel

Candeel is a typical Dutch drink that was once used to give birth to a child when the newly minted mother introduced her child to her friends for the first time. There were cakes and the latest gossip stories. But it also tastes like a twilight pint on frosty days:

Ingredients:
4 eggs, 150g sugar, grated peel and juice of a lemon, 1 pinch of cinnamon, 1 bottle of dry white wine

The eggs are stirred with the sugar while adding the sugar slowly, adding the lemon zest, the lemon juice and the wine and slowly heating with constant stirring, but never boil. Add the cinnamon and serve hot.
