Before my first trip to Prague, I was very skeptical visiting a former Eastern Bloc country. If you were to see this on television, you'll see many of the same dreary buildings, with no culture or vibrance. I couldn't have been more wrong in my assessment! When visiting Prague, it takes you back to the middle ages. It's almost like a time warp! It's a city that wasn't damaged during World War 2. Surprisingly, it was left in pristine condition. I would suggest going during the holidays because it simply has the best Christmas market, which is located in the Old Town Square. My personal favorites were drinking hot wine, and sampling the many varietys of local cuisine, all located within the same area. The photo I have as my icon for my blog is actually taken from the Christmas market back in 2008 when I was out there!!!
The Recipe for hot wine is-
Mulled wine from Eastern Europe is usually made with combinations of some of the following ingredients:
- Red wine (more typical) or white wine
- Spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and vanilla
- Citrus fruit (lemon or orange) or apples
- Honey or sugar
Also known as Glogg in the Nordic tradition or glug to us ignorant Americans!
