Christmas markets have their charm – lights, the scent of cinnamon, hot drinks in hand and that unique feeling of winter coziness. And it is precisely egg punch that belongs among the drinks that warm not only the body but also the soul. This recipe tastes exactly like the punch from a German Weihnachtsmarkt, the only difference being that you make it at home – no queues, no crowds, but made with love.
