INSTALLING NEW CERAMIC TILE OVER OLD. The ceramic tile on the bathroom floors of many older homes can be pretty worn out, with. cracks and/or missing tiles. Replacing that tile can often be complicated by the original. construction of the floor (see illustration).
Tea and coffee houses are still popular places to hang out. And the hot drink you go for has almost become a question of national identity: While in Britain it is undoubtedly tea, in Germany coffee has the upper hand. On average, Germans drink 150 liters of coffee per year - more than beer, wine or mineral.
German mulled wine, called gluhwein, combines red wine, cloves, cinnamon, sugar and a host of other aromatic spices to create a soothing warm drink for a cold winter evening. Most gluhwein recipes use wine as the base, but cider is sometimes substituted.
