Warm Beer

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 l beer, Berlin Weisse or other sweet beer
• 3 pcs cloves
• 1 pcs ginger
• cinnamon (a little)
• 1 tsp potato starch
• sugar (to taste)
• 4 pcs eggs, whole

Instructions

1. Berlin Weisse beer is best for this, but any other sweet, non-bitter beer can also be used.
2. For 4 people, place 1 liter of beer with 2-3 cloves, a piece of ginger, and a little cinnamon on the heat.
3. As soon as it begins to boil, add 1 teaspoon of smoothly stirred potato starch, let it boil up clear, and sweeten to taste.
4. Meanwhile, mix 3-4 whole eggs with a little cold water and pour the boiling beer in while vigorously whisking.
5. Serve in glasses or cups.
