Christmas is celebrated in the Christian cultural circle – primarily in Europe and North America, these are non-working days and entire families indulge in a solemn celebration. Christmas falls at winter time in northern countries, for that reason traditional hot dishes are served with warming drinks. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons or mandarins, as well as spices – cloves, cinnamon, anise or ginger – are used in their preparation. They form a perfect combination, giving drinks a distinctive aroma and improving their warming properties.
