I yelled at Ryan, "Where's the nutmeg!", and like the good kid he is he made the eggnog perfect! Merry Christmas, Townsend, and have a blessed New Year. ❤
Glögg is type of non alcoholic mulled wine that pretty much everyone drinks in Sweden. We heat it up and drink it out of small glasses a sip at a time. There are also alcoholic versions. When its below freezing outside, its a super nice drink that really hits the spot.
This whole presentation makes me really appreciate where I am in history right now. I'm so used to all of my drinks being iced, I wouldn't have made it back then....
We still have Negus in Winter here in West Wales and mull ale too with an iron. We also have a sort of drink-food for breakfast called 'bara te', literally 'bread tea'. My mamgu (grandma) made it with bread, sometimes toasted, sometimes buttered; just little squares in a bowl with the sweet, milky tea poured on - delicious on a cold morning - nutmeg on the top now and then. 👍
More 21st century than 18th, I suppose, but I find that microwaving yourself some milk and sprinkling it with pumpkin spice (which contains nutmeg) is a great way to unwind come winter. I also had a college friend who taught me to tend a cold by combining a slice of lemon with honey and hot water. I hope these suggestions help when you’re too tired to make something more complicated. Thanks for the video. These recipes look awesome! Happy holidays!
Can't forget about chicory- which was more of an Italian drink consumed hot often used as a cheap hot beverage isolated to Southern Europe until the American Civil War when Southerners needed to find a way to make the little coffee they could get their hands on last longer by adding cheaper chicory to the mix. But it was also common in Germany during the financial struggles of the early 1800's when they would add chicory, beet sugar, and other ingredients to their coffee to make it last longer (and again in the World Wars). At one point in the 1700's Frederick the Great even banned coffee imports to Prussia making chicory become popular there.
What you call a hot punch is called a 'grog' in the Netherlands. And it's still known for it's medicinal use in some ways (mostly known among the older generations). When I was older and had a cold or the flu my mother would always tell me to drink a 'grogje' to sweat out the fever. It's basically the same recipe; rum or some kind of herbal bitter, warm water, sugar and lemon juice.
A hint of that survives in the New Orleans milk punch, which is sometimes drunk for breakfast (by the daring non-coffee drinker). Essentially eggnog without the egg, it's milk, sugar, vanilla extract and either bourbon or rum, plus ... wait for it ... a light grating of nutmeg.
One note, here in Norway, the traditional social drink was all ale until coffee took the same role during the temperance movement. That being said, the ale was not warmed and usually only brewed for particular events like weddings, childbirths, funerals, and festivals like Christmas and the summer harvest. Otherwise, a warm drink we did have over here in the past, was for instance herb-tea (from way before tea itself came to these parts). We also have mulled wine, but I don't know when that came to these parts.
There's an old toddy that was popular with fishermen in Cornwall and Devon called, Mahogany. It is usually Gin mixed with treacle. I'm yet to try it, but it sounds interesting.
mulled and spiced wine is still very popular in france, it has become a christmas drink almost exclusively, but you go to a christmas market anywhere in france and the spiced wine stand will be crowded with people merrily warming up the belly before continuing their shopping spree
Vin chaud, glühwein, vin brulé, glög It's still popular all over Europe. Not necessarily just at Christmas, but it's certainly more visible at Christmas because of stalls at markets
This was the perfect episode to watch today, as it is quite cold outside here in Ohio. My husband and I often enjoy a warmed Kraken black rum. I just add hot water. He adds a bit of molasses to his, as well. It's so satisfying on a cold winter night- and the perfect "dessert" after dinner. Cheers!
I've been watching religiously since 2015, best video yet! Can't pin point why, just was. Seamless, content we'll thought out and professional. We'll done Townsends from foggy NorCal.
One of the most popular hot drinks for the last 2,000 years has been hot hard cider. Spices are relatively new and used for celebrations but hot, boozy cider was the drink of choice in those regions with apple trees. Another warm drink, I think you mentioned, was warm beer, something no American would consider partaking of today! Both cheap and readily available, they were the most common warm drinks.
My dad would make me a simple hot toddy when I had chills from the flu. The honey and lemon soothed the throat and the rest fought off the chills. Getting warm liquid in you is first aid for hypothermia I believe they were on to something back then.
"We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast." - Nick the Bartender "It's A Wonderful Life", and General George Washington (probably)
I hadn't known about hot wine (red wine, sugar, citrus, cinnamon, and maybe more ingredients (nutmeg?)) until I skied in France. I became a fan right way. To this day, authentic to me means outside, from a paper cup, and wearing a ski parka. I now make it myself in the winter. Occasionally when I'm sick I'll do a cup of hot wine instead of tea with lemon and honey.
I can imagine someone traveling to another town and asking for a collywobble and someone says, "Well, I haven't made that one before but I might be able to figure it out" and there you have it, a new spin on an established drink.
🌲🎅🎄 merry Christmas everyone, waiting for delivery of a qt of strong rum for my eggnog will have to experiment with warming it up always had it cold, be safe be responsible
There are a lot of large buildings that are thermostatically controlled from a central location and some of us get a little more froze out than others so we completely appreciate the need for a hot drink sometimes even in modern times.😂❤
I wonder if people stored dried wild plants in the 18th century in North America, and used that to make something like a tea, for the winter months? Also, I wonder if some type of soup broth was consumed with breakfast in the 18th century, in North America, to help keep people warm, during the winter months? Certain early sodas from the 1800s were actually used for medicinal purposes. It would be interesting if you could do an episode on wild plants and berries, and how those could be made into a tea. This was another great episode. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers! ✌️🎄
First, yes. They definitely stored wild roots, leaves, and "fruits" to make "steeped drinks" from, all year infact. Second, Chicken broth was a medicinal drink/food to eat anytime of the day to warm your bones and help fight off sickness. They would also have small beer warm for breakfast with a boiled pudding.
*technically* tea is only made with leaves from the tea plant (black tea, green tea, white tea). Herbal teas are technically infusions. Infusions can be made with fruits, roots, herbs, and spices. We typically call them teas as well, but really, tea is only an infusion with tea leaf. Similarly to champagne, which can only come from the champagne region of France (every thing else is sparklingly wine) but we often call cheap sparklingly wines (like Korbel) champagne because that’s the vernacular. Same with tea.
My mom used to make an egg nog similar to that for me as a kid. She used raw eggs, milk, vanilla ( sometimes some peanut butter added), milk, and ice then blended in a blender.. We had ducks so normally used their eggs
There's a winery in my state that makes mulled wine every year and sells it in essentially every grocery store in the state. If I don't have mulled wine at Christmas it's not Christmas.
Hot toddy (made with whisky) is the traditional remedy for colds & flu in my family, but also preventative if you get "chilled". My granda was so fond of it I'm getting a bit emotional remembering. I'm not convinced there's any evidence that it speeds up recovery (I'm a doctor) - but you're less likely to care 😂😂
Love this kind of content! I just discovered your channel this week and I'm glad i did. The last video on xmas traditions was to notch 👍. Btw u can find recipes to almost all of these drinks on the UA-cam channel Tasting History. The guy links the recipe references in description.
I read a lot of historical Roman history books and novels,they had heated wine in winter, especially when they were campaigning in France Germany and Britain,this I think is where we get our mulled wine from,which we still drink at Christmas,another hot drink we have when we are unwell, is hot blackcurrant,with a spoon of honey in it
I'm surprised infusions weren't a thing then. If I had to drink a hot alcoholic beverage in the morning to survive, I wouldn't survive for long anyway 😁 Merry Christmas, Jon Townsend and team. 🎅🎄
John, they didn't have arctic fleeces. The best great coat or warmest parka isn't easy or cheap and has to be maintained. There's a reason why we love our creature comforts so... The world is still a dangerous place, we just have much better technology and wealth, even the poor are wealthier in seemly small ways than the king of France Indoor plumbing, sanitation, HVAC, in the real 1st world healthcare... But 'good' warm clothing is cheap and mass produced and without duopolies or limited competition the businesses are fighting for those dollars to get product on backs and in full bellies!!! We need more cooperative business where we're the employee owners!
My wife and I made hot buttered rum for the first time the other day when we were putting up the tree. I think it would be better with whisky personally which we will try on Christmas. It was still pretty good though
Twice now in this video I have heard “was drank” or “ was being drank” which underscores that Americans don’t understand past participles of irregular verbs almost 100%. It’s getting worse than even ten years ago. Here they are avoiding saying “ was drunk” or “ was being drunk” because in their minds they only know the word “ drunk” as a noun for an inebriated person. They know the verb should be in the past so instead go to Simple Past” form” drank” when making the Past Passive Voice which requires the past participle “ drunk”. The verb is drink/drank/drunk.

There is a deeper explanation as to why the vowel goes from I to a to u :I->a->u which appears to be non alphabetical which would be a e I o u. On a deeper level it is but I would have to teach you Phonemic Transcription Analysis for one semester. This just tells me how much Americans lack even a basic understanding of the language they speak and it is rapidly getting worse over time.

Mulled wine when it's cold outside is really such a simple and pleasant experience. I really understand our ancestors when I take a sip!
Mulled wine is also still very much in fashion in Sweden (as glögg) and Germany (as Glühwein).
I've been thinking of making this.

I remember seeing old ads for Dr. Pepper suggesting that it be served hot in a cup.
Max Miller did it on tasting history.
Truly a savage time.
Hot Dr. Pepper is alright. I had it once and it wasn't disgusting.
They still serve it that way in Waco in the winter!
It's actually great when you're sick, especially if you add a lemon slice
Wassail is an absolute necessity around the holidays.
A major peeve of mine, is when it’s 17 degrees outside and restaurants serve you ice water.

It is what you get in Germany at every Christmas market
Gluewein? @@EdwardD-q5p
And in North of Italy too
Vin chaud, glühwein, vin brulé, glög
It's still popular all over Europe. Not necessarily just at Christmas, but it's certainly more visible at Christmas because of stalls at markets
I'll be trying my hand at smoking bishop this holiday season. Max has a fun looking recipe on Tasting History lol.
I love the fun stuff Townsend's and Max bring us all the time.

In brazil, we heat cheap wine and add lots of sugar for the winter festivities ( which happen at the middle of the year )
Day drinking With Townsends
Warm drinks became a stable for me when the heating bill skyrocketed.
Sunday morning… Coffee time with Townsends!! What better? ☕️
Smoking Bishop!
Just what I was thinking of!

Few modern Americans.
In germany we have glühwein it is heated and spiced wine we drink it only in winter time and christmas season
My dad would make me a simple hot toddy when I had chills from the flu. The honey and lemon soothed the throat and the rest fought off the chills. Getting warm liquid in you is first aid for hypothermia I believe they were on to something back then.
General Washington’s eggnog, you’ll be so wasted you won’t realise your cold believe me.
From a video I saw on how to make it. "What makes Washington’s eggnog different from other eggnogs? Simple! Lethal amounts of alcohol!"
Max Miller's eyes flew open when the alcohol hit.
"Smooth and creamy, whoah!"
@Joemantler And it was supposed to be made days or weeks ahead and allowed to age.
Certainly no bacteria was going to survive in all that alcohol.
And only the heartiest of men!
"We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast." - Nick the Bartender "It's A Wonderful Life",
and General George Washington (probably)
I only have warm drinks all winter especially hot apple cider with cinnamon or a London Fog.
I love this video.
Mulled wine and tea and rum are still very popular in northern italy during winter
What's in mulled tea?
Part of my Dad's hunting, morning ritual was warm milk before we went out into the cold.
I hadn't known about hot wine (red wine, sugar, citrus, cinnamon, and maybe more ingredients (nutmeg?)) until I skied in France. I became a fan right way. To this day, authentic to me means outside, from a paper cup, and wearing a ski parka. I now make it myself in the winter. Occasionally when I'm sick I'll do a cup of hot wine instead of tea with lemon and honey.
My first thought was apple cider.
Hot cider with honey is nice, and you can drop a shot of Scotch in there if it's particularly cold outside.
I just happen to be sipping some mulled wine... great timing!
In Mary Poppins hear a spoon full of sugar medicine was a rum punch.
20:49 the glass is making that drink look censored! Beautiful lol
Hot apple juice/cider with cinnamon, nutmeg or clove.
Barley water took a long long time to go out of fashion in fact the Japanese still had it on the menu leading up to what they call the showa period.
I went to a Korean restaurant a couple of years ago and was served rye water. It was actually quite pleasant and I think it's still common in Korea.
I thought for sure Jon would mention barley water when he was talking about 17th century drinks.
A very enjoyable and seasonal episode. Really enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas to all at Townsends!
Im having plaon okd hot tea riht now but looking forward to hot mulled cider for the holiday. 😊
I can imagine someone traveling to another town and asking for a collywobble and someone says, "Well, I haven't made that one before but I might be able to figure it out" and there you have it, a new spin on an established drink.

Clicked on this drinking my morning coffee. Made the intro comment hard to not laugh at
Another thought was chicken or beef boths.
Mmm. Yes!
1:20 Were they drinking (in the colonies) Smoking bishop and Wassail? 🤔
Both were served warm/hot, in England.

A 26 min Townsends video? Christmas came early, lads!
The official drink of the 6th Connecticut Regiment was Hot Buttered Rum, I guess we have to change to Hot Buttered Ale now.

I like the one with Nutmeg
The word "punch" comes from the Hindi word for "five" (for the five ingredients: water, sugar, rum, lemon, lime).

It's on YT, Weird Explorer channel.
Might be an interesting guest to chat to.

Hot beef broth with green onion and soy sauce is a go to when I’m too cold.
I'm making Smoking Bishop for Christmas Eve!!!
Here we've only got one rule: never, ever let it cool!
Keep it cooking in the pot, soon you got hot chocolate!
Hot butter Toddy (brandy) can be amazing.

Never underestimate the power of warm apple cider in the morning.
When drinking in public, the Rich became 'Tipsy and Merry', while the poor became 'Drunk and disorderly'. 🥴😵💫
