Bisschopswijn

Bisschopswijn

Bisschopswijn, meaning ‘bishop’s wine,’ is the Dutch version of the German Gluehwein, a hot drink for snowy holidays that makes you glow inside. Don’t drink this if you have to drive tonight! Each household has its own variety; this is the one my Dutch neighbors used to make when I was a kid in Amsterdam for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
