It is commonly a winter drink and can be found served in the popular Christmas markets of Germany and Austria. Eierpunsch is made with egg whites, sugar, white wine and vanilla. Sometimes cream or custard can be added.
A typical recipe of Eierpunsch with white wine to server 2-3 persons would be;
- 1 bottle of white wine (750 ml)
- 4 eggs (or 8 egg yolks)
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- one packet of vanilla sugar
- some cinnamon
- 2 cloves
- 250ml of strong tea
- lemon or lemon juice
Whisk the sugar into the eggs (or egg yolks) and add a little cold white wine, and then beat vigorously. Add the vanilla sugar. Add the rest of the white wine and heat with some cinnamon, the cloves and lemon juice. Just before it comes to a boil, remove the pot from the heat. Strain and let cool a bit. Serve hot and foamy. (Can also be made with red wine. If so do not add 250 ml strong tea.)
